Album Notes
13th Floor Elevators: Roky Erickson, Stacy Sutherland, Tommy Hall, Dan Galindo, Danny Thomas.
EASTER EVERYWHERE, the classic 1967 album from 13th Floor Everywhere, returns in this 2003 rerelease.
This reissue also includes ten exclusive bonus cuts, of which, eight are concert tracks.
Texas psych-rock legends the 13th Floor Elevators released their second studio album, EASTER EVERYWHERE, in 1967. Continuing in the tradition established by their debut, EASTER EVERYWHERE is built on garage-band R&B and swirling acid-rock, with lead singer Roky Erickson's haunting wail and Tommy Hall's percolating electric jug lines front and center. While rave-ups like "Earthquake," "She Lives (In A Time of Her Own)," and "Nobody to Love" find the Elevators at their beguiling best, the album's centerpiece is a sprawling, pastoral, and achingly restrained take on Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" (here titled simply "Baby Blue" ), in which Erickson snakes his away around the lyrics showing off the sweetly damaged croon that made him an underground icon. While they'll never get the acclaim garnered by the Grateful Dead or Jefferson Airplane, the Elevators made truly psychedelic music, fueled as much by chemicals and the spirit of the times as the beautifully strange journeys Roky Erickson took through his troubled mind. EASTER EVERYWHERE is an excellent place to join Roky's trip.
Editorial Reviews
...The Texas tornadoes whip up a storm with the help of Roky Erickson's fried yowl and such quantities of acid that some of the band promptly disappeared altogether...
