NEW book, read only once. "Transcendence came with a price," Brian T. Atkinson writes in his introduction to this collection of reflections by and about pioneer psychedelic rocker Roky Erickson (1947-2019). The singer and songwriter who fronted the 13th Floor Elevators burst onto the Texas music scene in 1966 with the release of "You're Gonna Miss Me," the band's only charting single, which featured Erickson's primal vocal stylings. The band attracted considerable regional attention, including interest from a young Janis Joplin, who considered joining the group before opting to go to San Francisco instead. Through his interviews with those who were there and presentation of Erickson's own words, Atkinson chronicles how Erickson was haunted for most of his life by mental illness, likely compounded by his liberal usage of hallucinogenic and other drugs. Despite that, however, his influence on Texas musicians of various genres is vast. As Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top attests in his foreword, "He stands alone to this day and is revered as an artist because he had the gift of a wonderful voice." As with his previous books on Townes Van Zandt, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and Mickey Newbury, Atkinson has recorded hours of interviews with veteran and upcoming musicians who were impacted by Roky Erickson. Along with the insights of long-time music journalists like Joe Nick Patoski and the bittersweet recollections of friends and family members like Mikel Erickson, brother of the singer, this work includes poetry and lyrics written by Erickson during his confinement at Rusk State Hospital in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The picture that emerges is that of a brilliant, troubled mind and an artist whose influence extended far beyond the period of his greatest notoriety, continuing even beyond his death.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good Minus. Jacket by Joan Atkinson Ilustrador. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. This was Stella Gibbons second novel. Cold Comfort Farm was her first. This book is in excellent condition. Take a look at the photos of the red covers.They appear yo be perfectly clean. The black lettering on the spine is very bright. There's just the tiniest amount of wear at the spine ends, a bit of color fade, no tears. All six edges are in solid shape. The bottom rear edge has a wee bit of white in a couple of small places. No rubbing on the edges. The top front corner and rear bottom corner each have a speck of rub-through. The front bottom corner has a very small spot of rub-through. The top page edge may have had a dye that lightened with time. I'm not sure. But there are no stains or spots on the top page edge and none on the bottom page edge. The middle page edge is very clean. It has two tiny brown specks. As small as they are, a speck of this brown can be just seen peeking over the edge of the page that says 'Part I' and the following page which is 'Chapter I', obviously quite minor. The second tiny brown spot can also be seen just peeking over the edge of pages 49-50, 51-52, and 53-54. Tiny, tiny. I'm going to stay in the weeds here because this is an expensive book. There is a very slight nick on the middle page edge, not visible when the book is closed, but scrolling through the early pages one can make it out. The impact is extremely minor. There's a slight and tiny impression. There are no tears there or on any of the pages in the book. This nick of an impression is something I would feel comfortable not referencing on a less expensive book because it doesn't really rise to the level of a flaw. Getting back to the covers for a moment, there is a light vertical crease on the spine, the kind that's created when the cloth puffs out a little bit at the center. So there is a slight space (1/16th of an inch) between the text block and the cloth at the top edge of the spine. The cloth at the bottom edge of the spine is very tight with the text block. The spine has a very slight forward lean, slight enough that again I would not typically reference it, a reference I will often make when it is relevant. So there is this very slight lean, but the book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. The covers are also nicely tight. There are no cracks or spaces between the covers and the end papers or between the covers and any pages in the book. There are no cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages in the book. The pages are very clean. I found only one side of one page with some amber colored soiling, not a lot but a bit of it is over some of the lettering. The facing page has what appears to be some unrelated unevenness (a couple of tiny ridges) coming up from its bottom edge, fairly minor. It'books s on both sides but not on any of the preceding or following pages. There's also one page that has two dark specks just to the right of the juncture with the facing page. There's not much by way of creasing, not seeing any turn-down corner creases. There's some very vague bottom corner not-quite-creases on some latter pages, really not much of anything. There are no markings in the book. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've rated it Very Good Minus, taking into account age. It's quite clean. The spine is faded. You can see the losses. The flaps are clean, a little spotting at the rear top edge, light wear at the front top edge. The four flaps have tucking-in clips, the price is present and unaffected.
