Was very much a changed man when he re-emerged on the music scene in the late '70s after a deeply troubling stay in a mental institution following an arrest for drugs in 1969. The graceful but energetic proto-psychedelia of 's music with was replaced by a hot-wired straight-ahead rock sound which suggested an updated version of the teenaged garage pounders recorded with his early group, and the charming psychobabble of 's lyrics with gave way to twisted narratives documenting 's obsessive enthusiasm for cheezoid horror movies of the 1950s. It wasn't until 1980 that released his first solo album, and that disc has had a rather eventful history. (ex-) produced the sessions over a period of two years, and the album appeared in Europe as Roky Erickson & the Aliens (released by CBS in England, making it 's only major-label release to date), while in America it came out as on the San Francisco indie 415 Records.

His band,, are in sharp, precise form; 's vocals confirm he's a blues-rock belter of the first order (even when he's raving about creatures with atom brains, two-headed dogs, or the Evil One himself), and if the songs are a bit odd lyrically (which you would expect from the titles), the tunes are clever and punchy and rock on out. While the serene and evocative folk-rock of represents 's strongest solo work, shows just how strong a rocker he could be -- and how good a band he could put together. Great stuff, and certainly the best representation of 's 'latter-day punk' period. Privacy Policy (Updated: 12/14/18) Townsquare Media, Inc.
