    Though it was produced at a time when Psychedelic Rock pioneer Roky Erickson was struggling to cope with drugs and life on the outside, he hit form on his first post Elevators album-proper, 1981's "The Evil One". Produced over a period of two years by Stu Cook, from Creedence Clearwater Revival, it's a masterful collection of songs about zombies, demons, vampires and, yes, even the "Creature With The Atom Brain". These tracks, inspired by schlock sci-fi and horror movies and colored by Roky's distinctive, high-pitched vocal and squealing guitar, are among the maverick performer's best.

      I feel like so many people sleep on this album. On the surface you think lyrics are just cheesey horror movie tropes. But they hold up to deeper readings. Think of "I walked with a Zombie" as a comment on Roky's time in mental hospital....

    Roky wasn’t really “struggling to cope with drugs…” He struggled to deal with mental illness and side effects of the powerful prescription medications his doctors prescribed, plus the after effects of multiple shock therapy treatments while imprisoned at the Rusk State Hospital in Rusk, TX.

      Most people really know nothing when it comes to depression,anxiety and mental illness. Toss a few pills back w/ booze, do some of this and that on the road for 10 + yrs. and it becomes your existence instead of lifestyle. And support is only as good as the company you've chosen.

      If I remember rightly, those symbols were on the label of the UK version as well as the sleeve, so they probably are the album title, BUT, how to pronounce them!? The UK sleeve is the one used here - the US release was called The Evil One' had a different cover, and had a different track listing, which was why I shot off and bought a copy when I got the chance.

  • @J.A.1969

    New discovery of this fine album for me. Was watching a film called Scary Movie from 1991 about a guy who loses his mind inside a makeshift haunted house attraction and "I Walked With a Zombie" played during the end credits so had to look up this album. This album is an Absolute Stunner. "Click Your Fingers" and "Two Headed Dog" are massive standouts on this! Some rock music singers have definitely stolen Roky Erickson's vocal style, namely Jack White and the Guns & Roses singer for definite starters. Like @StoneMeadowOfDoom mentioned in his comment below, "Stone Cold Classic".
