Nobody made psychedelic rock sound more desert-scorched than the 13th Floor Elevators. The "Psychedelic Sounsd Of" Lp by these acid-eating Texan's scooped straight from a sizzling patch of the Chihuahuan, way, way down south along the Mexico border. Their sound is murky and dirt-caked, Roky Erickson's voice is a Texas-twanged cry in the night, Stacy Sutherland's guitar is full of garage rock sting, Tommy Hall's electric jug keeps blaring out UFO noises, and the songs themselves range from pretty wildflowers to baked-brain rock 'n' roll blasts.

This November 1966 album title is purported to be the first use of the word "psychedelic" in reference to the music within. However, this is in dispute as two other bands also used the word in titles of LPs released in November of 1966: The Blues Magoos' Psychedelic Lollipop, and The Deep's Psychedelic Moods.

Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers such as the crazed-love anthem, "You're Gonna Miss Me," the Elevators' debut included tracks such as "Reverberation (Doubt)," "Roller Coaster," and "Splash 1," which viscerally evoked the sounds of their titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno... together combined, the stupefying first album by Texas' heroic psychedelic point-men, the 13th Floor Elevators, contains the unearthly banshee howl of Roky Erickson, the blistering guitar of Stacy Sutherland and the demented electric jug of Tommy Hall haven't sounded this cool since their glory days in the third eye of the lysergic hurricane!
