Synopsis

Album Description

Outside Austin, Texas, a 53-year-old man sleeps to the melody of four radios, three televisions, two amps, a radio scanner, and a Casio keyboard, all screeching at the same time. Loudly. He has three teeth and his hair is matted into one huge dreadlock. This is the story of Roky Erickson: manic frontman for the legendary band The 13th Floor Elevators, creators of psychedelic music and muse to Janis Joplin. Known for his colossal heroin & LSD binges, struggles with schizophrenia, and an unthinkable term at Rusk Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Roky went missing from the world. YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME is a disturbingly intimate portrait of an imploding family and the struggle between modernized medicine and religion and reveals the shocking & triumphant truth behind one of Rock's great mysteries. YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME features classic songs from the 13th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson and the Aliens, and gripping solo acoustic performances from Roky, available exclusively on this soundtrack.

CD Reviews

A perfect monster has no end

Dave | USA | 01/23/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't believe their have been no reviews for this excellent overview of Roky Erickson's catalog. This is a nice single disk overview of Rocky's best stuff. It starts with two 13th floor elevators songs and has seven well selected solo gems. I also really like that it has 3 very rare acoustic home recordings included on this soundtrack only. You even get to hear Roky ask if one of them was recorded after he finishes singing. The "I Have Always Been Here Before: The Roky Erickson Anthology" 2 CD set is a better value but I like the Stu Cook produced version of "Two Headed Dog" better on this CD than the original single version included on the 2 CD set. This is a really good CD for the curious or the obsessive collector that needs everything."

Sweet Dreams

"This man's comeback is a sweet dream...unbelievable. I could totally hear Cobain singing "Goodbye Sweet Dreams." The documentary this CD was produced for tells the story...what a life and glad he's back."
