Roky Erickson, the hippy Buddy Holly who invented psychedelia in 1965, was burned out by electroconvulsive therapy in 1968. With schlocky b-movie imagery amplifying his genuine anxieties, unauthorised releases swamped Erickson’s subsequent efforts.
A trio of reissues showcases his Eighties output, 1986’s rare Don’t Slander Me finding Cold Sun’s autoharp guru Billy Miller and Jefferson Airplane’s Jack Cassidy bolstering a set of uncharacteristically conventional, sometimes quietly surprising, songs.
An alternate, greasy lead guitar laden, take of the throbbing punk blues Haunt will satiate starved disciples.
