Roky Erickson - All That May Do My Rhyme ( CD Canada) Ex-13th Floor Elevators

Description: Roky Erickson - All That May Do My Rhyme ( CD Canada). For as long as he can remember — if he indeed can remember — Roky Erickson has been called many things by many people,” wrote Robert Wilonsky, visiting Roky at that small place, for an insightful story published by the Houston Press. “He’s been lauded as a Texas music legend whose name belongs up there with Buddy Holly, Janis Joplin and ‘T-Bone’ Walker. He’s been called one of the fathers of psychedelic music…And, unfortunately, he has been pigeonholed as a reclusive lunatic who does daily battle with the demons swirling inside his drug-damaged head.” All That May do My Rhyme drills down on Erickson’s rockabilly and trad folk-rock foundation, his strained voice working over the production of Casey Monahan and Texas roots artist Speedy Sparks and accompaniment from Leary, Charlie Sexton, and others. Featuring songs from his back catalog, remixed versions culled from previous sessions, and a few newer compositions, the record feels purely Texan, dry and jangly. Best of all is a duet on “Starry Eyes,” perhaps Erickson’s sweetest tune, with Lou Ann Barton, whose version of “Don’t Slander Me” is a highlight of the Pyramids compilation as well. “Starry eyes/what can I say to make you listen?” Erickson pleads. Decades later, via films like You’re Gonna Miss Me and 2010 LP True Love Cast Out All Evil, a fuller view of Roky has emerged — his science fiction and B-horror movie lyrics sorted in the context of his inner life — but All That May Do My Rhyme helps make clear his musical essence, while Where the Pyramid Meets the Sky helps show how others took his strange sounds new places.
