As the head freak in Texas psychedelic warriors the 13th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson was a cult hero of '60s rock. Unfortunately, he was derailed early on by a combination of mental illness and substance abuse. After a long, traumatic incarceration, Erickson emerged in the '70s as a solo artist with a sound that was musically more straightforward but just as lyrically twisted, albeit in a new way.
A number of the songs on EVIL ONE are fueled by Erickson's fascination with low-budget horror flicks. It's easy to imagine seeing the titles "Two Headed Dog" and "I Think of Demons" on some 1950s small-town movie marquee. Though Erickson tears into the songs with an almost lunatic ferocity, his musical energy seems purposeful and well directed, buoyed by the straight-ahead garage-punk attack of his band the Aliens. Produced by Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival fame, EVIL ONE is a focused peek into a world of madness that's both scary and exhilarating.
There are many Roky Erickson albums, but The Evil One originally released by CBS Records in Europe in 1980 was the first of them and, many would say the best. This re-issue features 35 tracks including 20 on disc two from The Modern Humans Show August 20, 1979 KSJO Radio. Roky Erickson The Evil One Songs | 1. | Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer) | |

The Evil One
$6.09
This newly remastered 2003 deluxe edition contains bonus tracks.
Originally released on RCA Victor (3766). Includes liner notes by Jeff Tamarkin and Bill Thompson.
From the opening, hard-edged chords of "She Has Funny Cars," it's apparent that SURREALISTIC PILLOW, Jefferson Airplane's sophomore effort, is a far more spiky beast than the band's debut. It became not only San Francisco's soundtrack ...
