Music reviews of The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

Music Review: I agree with burritoman
Rating: 4 Stars

I've known about this album for a long time without ever hearing it in its entirety. After finally procuring a copy I, too, agree with burritoman that this LP is somewhat over-rated. A lot of the songs are just standard early psychedelic rock compositions. However, the performances themselves are noticeably strong. Stacy Sutherland was an interesting guitarist. His lacquered modal riffs make him sound like the missing link between Dick Dale and Jorma Kaukonen. He must've played surf/Ventures style music a few years earlier and, subsequently, musically evolved into something more distinct by the time this LP was recorded. The electric jug gets tedious. The band's sound would've benefitted by alternating the jug with tambourine, harmonica, maracas, autoharp, etc to help give the Elevators music more kineticism and flavor. The real standout is Roky Erikson. He is simply one of the greatest rock singers ever. Although basically a shouter, he showed great restraint, power and interpretation on this early offering. The bonus cuts are interesting. It shows how rocking these guys could be when they let loose. It's too bad they didn't cut a more rock-based LP when they first recorded and released 'You're Gonna Miss Me' (like Love did for their first LP) in early '66 and then move on to the tunes on this CD as a second LP for later '66. In fact, this LP pairs well with Love's second LP. Although I wasn't overwhelmed by this LP, it's still worth having for the aforementioned strengths. It's great to hear that Roky is functioning and back in action again. What a great talent.
