Music reviews of You're Gonna Miss Me: The Best of Roky Erickson
Music Review: Goat Bless You, Roky!
Rating: 5 Stars
This disc is a "best of" compilation of Roky's hard-rock years from the mid '70s to mid '80s (my personal favorite era of his entire career). In the late '60s he put out the two classic psychedellic rock albums THE PSYCHEDELLIC SOUNDS OF THE 13th FLOOR ELEVATERS (1966) and EASTER EVERYWHERE (1967) two other albums followed but weren't that great. In the '90s there were some acoustic releases. An entire career retrospective can be found on the 2CD: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE BEFORE. As for the straight ahead guitar-driven hard rock material, I'd recommend this disc...then buy all the individual albums from these years.
As for the music, it's fairly basic three chord heavy metal (although the majority of his fan base seem to be punk rockers) and may sound cheesey on the first few listens. But due to Roky's LSD use and mental handicaps you realize he's dead serious when he sings, "I Walked With A Zombie" or "The Creature With The Atom Brain". Play it loud and rock out!
