Music reviews of Gremlins Have Pictures
Music Review: A gem for any fan of the ROCK to discover...
Rating: 4 Stars
Mr.Erickson could pen a great tune, that's for sure. Lyrics, music-the whole package nothing short of compelling. Once I heard "Cold Night for Alligators", I was hooked. It's no wonder that great bands such as The Hellacopters and Entombed cover songs from the Erickson canon. If you're looking for impassioned rock and roll, you really can't beat this. Check out the tune "Anthem"-an acoustic based number, the feeling and power Roky is channeling cannot be ignored. I envy those who saw these songs performed in the flesh, for many of these selections were derived from different live shows between the late 70's and early 80's. This would have received 5 stars, but in being live, the sound quality in some areas is lacking-but should by no means prevent it's purchase. The souls of true music lovers will feel nourished upon listening...

Description of Gremlins Have Pictures
Roky (pronounce rock-eeh) Erickson was founding member and lead singer of psychedelic band, Texas? infamous Thirteenth Floor Elevators. Erickson explored the far reaches of musical and personal extremes. Young musicians like Jerry Garcia, Grace Slick, and Janis Joplin jammed with the influential group. Following a nightmarish '70s mental-hospital stint that had a devastating long-term effect on his mental health, Erickson's subsequent solo work with his group The Aliens revealed a singularly brilliant songwriter and performer whose talent was no less impressive for the fact that he was singing about zombies, vampires and aliens. The demons that abound in Roky's songs are all-too-real reflections of his own troubled psyche, and the combination of the artist's oddly poetic lyrical constructions and his bracing banshee wail makes it clear, as it wasn't always, that he's not kidding! Don?t Slander Me and Gremlins Have Pictures, recorded 1975 -1982, document Roky?s genius.Alternative Rock CDs
