Play Loud! Productions present the first reissue of
Roky Erickson
's
All That May Do My Rhyme
, originally released in 1994. Roky Erickson is a legend. Former member of the
13th Floor Elevators
, he was considered the white
James Brown
. Drug problems and diagnosed schizophrenia made him an outsider. By the '90s, he was struggling to survive on a $200 monthly social security check. In 1990, artists like
R.E.M.
,
ZZ Top
, and the
Jesus and Mary Chain
recorded his songs for a tribute album. Erickson performed publicly for the first time in many years at the Austin Music Awards. In 1994, he returned to the studio with guitarists
Charlie Sexton
and the
Butthole Surfers
'
Paul Leary
to record
All That May Do My Rhyme
. This record was released on CD, cassette, and vinyl in 1994 on
Paul Leary
's Trance Syndicate Records. Notes from the original press release: "Trance Syndicate is pleased to present the first studio recording in almost a decade by one of the most gifted, most influential, most inspired singer/songwriters from the Republic of Texas since
Buddy Holly
. Roky Erickson is back! performing new songs and a few classics in one of the best studios in Texas, backed by some of Texas' finest musicians." This is no cheap live tape, crummy reissue, nor a slimy bootleg. This is the real thing. CD version comes in a digipak and includes an eight-page lyric sheet with band info.
