Free Music Review: What a great comeback for Roky
Hit: 5 Stars

Much like Johnny Cash, this CD brings out songs of Prison/Incarceration/God/Redemption all together in one great listen. In a way, sort of reminds me of Skip Spence's "Oar" LP, but not quite as weird. This music is not as weird as early solo outings, more interesting than his 1990s output, and could be Roky's best studio album if you take it in terms of what he's been through. Complements to the producer Wil Sheff for bringing out out the best and keeping things from going out too far, like Rick Rubin did with Johnny Cash as another reviewer mentioned.

I own many recordings of the 13th Floor Elevators through all of Roky's solo years and this is definitely the most soulful one by far. If you're looking for hard-driving songs about Demons & Goblins, you'd better opt for "The Evil One" LP or other collections from the late 1970s-80s. Or for even more "out there", just about anything from the 13th Floor Elevators will suffice (don't expect good sound, though).

The booklet has a great up-to-date biography of Roky and sympathetically describes his early quick rise, quick fall, and just awful experiences with the redneck authorities and legal system in Texas of the 1960s. Then when everyone thought it could never happen, Roky ends up seemingly back to a fairly normal life and personal redemption. I am so happy for him and his family who have endured it all. Just the fact he survived through it all is a miracle in itself. Let's hope he can continue to bring his music to the masses and get the attention and fame he deserves. His life story in itself has such a great ending compared to many others like Syd Barrett, Skip Spence, and others who didn't make it back to us. Too bad Stacey Sutherland and Danny Galinda couldn't live long enough to see him back with us.

Keep up the great work Roky, and hope you can keep the flame burning.
