| Biography: |
American acid rock, psychedelic rock and southern rock band The 13th Floor Elevators was formed in 1965. The classic band's line-up was built around singer/guitarist Roky Erickson, electric jug player Tommy Hall, and guitarist Stacy Sutherland. The rhythm section went through several changes, with drummer John Ike Walton and bass player Ronnie Leatherman being the longest permanent members. Hall was the band's primary lyricist and philosopher, with Sutherland and Erickson both contributing lyrics as well as writing and arranging the group's music. Along with Erickson's powerful vocals, Hall's "electric jug" became the band's signature sound in the early days. They rose to fame with their album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (1966). And now, you may download this album by The 13th Floor Elevators in mp3 from our site.
