I Just had to share this. Listen, enjoy and weep!
Roky Erickson - Night Of The Vampire :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAzbwF…As the original writer of this brilliant song Roky manage to outshine any tries to make a remake. Mentaly ill, doped up on drugs or medicine and under the constant threat of suicide Rockys voice is still painfully beautiful.
This text describes how the actual recording took place (I found it on youtube):
This was recorded in 1984 on a rock in a running creek behind my Mom's house in Austin Texas, near the Elizabeth Ney Museum. My Mom ran electric cords from our house and She was really worried that Roky would get electrocuted. He played several songs IN THE CREEK with the extension cord hanging in the water. He did a few songs with her Les paul too, and Had dinner with us.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
