The 13th Floor Elevators - She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own) - LULU - 6-:16 -0-09-20

X-No-Archive: yes
Here's a tune from the Elevators' second album, "Easter Everywhere,"
released in 1967. It's an interesting piece of early psychedelia.
These Texas legends were destined for a shortened and erratic career.
It's hard to be an acid fueled band, during an era in Texas, when a
single joint could get you a life sentence in the DOC. Legal and drug
problems and Roky Erickson's eventual mental breakdown hastened the
end of what could have been. The Elevators' influence on other
musicians and later bands is undeniable. The "electric" jug is an
interesting element of the band's sound. Kind of like a whirly-bird
ghost under a lysergic spell.
Enjoy,
Lulu : )

Cool stuff.
The parallels with Syd Barrett are of course, obvious. I didn't realize
that the "acid casualty" label that follows Roky around was really
"acid + Mom casualty" until I watched that doco...
Good to see he's out of his shell a bit and making some music. Too
bad that nobody was able to do the same for Syd.

He's got a new song... "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a
frontal lobotomy".
