Ensemble: The 13th Floor Elevators. Illustrator: Clinton Golden. Photographers: Craig Luckin; Betty Shumate; Jean Constant Gindreau; Jerry Lightfoot; Stephanie Chernikowski. Given the influence Roky Erickson has had throughout a career dating back to his work with the psychedelic garage rockers The 13th Floor Elevators, it is amazing that it took until 2005 for an anthology as comprehensive as I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE BEFORE to appear. Kicking off with "We Sell Soul," a 1965 lo-fi nugget Erickson cut with his pre-Elevators band The Spades, this wild ride spans over three decades. In addition to the seminal Elevators classic "You're Gonna Miss Me" (with its gravelly vocals and rubbery twang), there's his mid-'70s solo comeback featuring the Doug Sahm-produced, wah-wah-drenched dirge "Red Temple Prayer (Two Headed Dog)" and its hook-filled sibling "Starry Eyes." Marred by frequent bouts with mental illness throughout his career, it is frightening to hear the enormous talent that Erickson displayed during moments of clarity. His raw, mercurial skills shine throughout, whether on the late '70s sessions with the Aliens (including the faux skinny-tie twang of "I Think Up Demons" and "Don't Shake Me Lucifer") or the forlorn, autobiographical chamber pop of "Please Judge" from 1995's ALL THAT MAY DO MY RHYME.
