If you know anything about Roky, how you can listen to Roky, as on Ain't Blues too Sad, sing about shock therapy and not be moved, or sing Please Judge (which has some cool SFX) and not be moved, I don't know.
You also get Goodbye Sweet Dreams, which has a decided 13th Floor Elevators cast to it, Be and Bring Me Home, which is almost a country ballad, and Bring Back the Past, which is a nifty rocker with some discomfiting lyrics of its own.
John Lawmman and Birds'd Crash are like classic surrealistic Roky circa Red Temple Prayer (Two Headed Dog), while the title track kind of straddles the Elevators and Roky surreal. Forever, well, Forever, heck, Sam Cooke would have appreciated it, likewise a lot of guys who made careers building off of Sam Cooke. Think of as One is absolutely zen, and pretty jazzy as well.
So we waited a long time for this and for our patience what we got is, well, Roky. I myself am damn happy with the payoff.

No one deserves the kind of treatment he received for such a minor offense. I'm glad he has finally received some help and some back royalties. A true artist.
I posted a blog about Roky and The 13th Floor Elevators in my blog "The Eclectic Ear".
Please stop by and say hello.
