Roky Erickson

I'd never heard Roky Erickson before, but I picked up True Love Cast Out All Evil and I'm blown away... The album seems to have a pretty amazing story behind it too.

I know he's got a bunch of stuff, can anybody suggest something else of his I should get?

Also: how the hell is his name pronounced? "Rocky"? "Rowkey"?

Gonzo1977

I believe his name is pronounced as Rawk-ee

Check out his work with 13 Floor Elevators, and Roky Erickson and the Aliens
