Roky Erickson's first new record in 14 years is coming out in April. It's hard for me to think of a more honest, painfully sincere voice then Roky's and knowing the shit he's been through in the past makes it that much more effective. This upcoming record features Okkervil River, also from Austin, as his back up band which brings a different dynamic to the usual rawness of his previous material. So far a reworked version of "Goodbye Sweet Dreams" is all that has surfaced, I've posted it below via Pitchfork.
Goodbye Sweet Dreams
I was lucky enough to see Roky play a couple years ago at Emo's with The Strange Boys and fuckin' Billy Gibbons came out at the end of his set for "Two Headed Dog" & "You're Gonna Miss Me". Definitely a great show.
