Roky erickson and the aliens rar professional#
The child of an architect and would-be opera singer, Erickson dropped out of high school to become a professional musician. Born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15, 1947, in Dallas, TX, he began playing the piano at age five by age 12, he had also taken up the guitar. Like Syd Barrett, a common point of reference, Roky Erickson rose to cult-hero status as much for his music as for his tragic personal life in light of his legendary bouts with madness and mythic drug abuse, the influence exerted by his garage-bred psychedelia was often lost in the shuffle. If you don't know his story you should check it out. Truly amazing Album from a man with a story that put all others to shame. In 1958, she recorded (privately) a Christmas single together with her son. His father was Danish, and his mother was of German descent. Track A6 is only featured on the bootleg version of this LP.
