A landmark album in rock history, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators is widely regarded as the first true psychedelic rock record. Blending raw garage rock energy with mind-expanding lyrics and Roky Erickson’s haunting vocals, the album captures the rebellious spirit of the 1960s counterculture. The band’s signature electrified jug sound, courtesy of Tommy Hall, adds a swirling, hypnotic edge to tracks like “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, “Reverberation (Doubt)”, and “Roller Coaster”. Intense, experimental, and ahead of its time, this album laid the foundation for the psychedelic rock movement that followed.
