 THE 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS

 TOMMY HALL, DANNY THOMAS, DAN GALINDO, STACY SUTHERLAND, ROKY ERICKSON

The 13th Floor Elevators were one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic music; many have cited them 

as the first true psychedelic rock band, and if they weren't, they certainly predated most of the 

San Francisco bands that gave the sound a global audience. The Elevators played a bracing fusion of 

garage rock and genre-defying musical exploration powered by Roky Erickson's feral vocals and rhythm guitar, 

Stacy Sutherland's concise but agile lead guitar work, and Tommy Hall's amplified jug playing, 

the latter of which gave them a sound unlike any other in rock. 

The Elevators were also exploring the outer limits of both consciousness and rock & roll in Texas in the early to mid-'60s, 

a time and place that wasn't quite ready for them, leading to the myriad problems 

that at once fueled their legend and cut down the band before their time

1969's Bull of the Woods, documented a band that was running out of gas. Legal problems were dogging 

the Elevators and preventing them from touring, they were justifiably unhappy with their record company,

lead vocalist Roky Erickson was beginning to buckle under the group's steady diet of LSD, and lyricist and 

founder Tommy Hall was growing tired of the demands of the group after the difficult process of writing Easter Everywhere. 

As a consequence, guitarist Stacy Sutherland became the de facto leader of the group during 

the recording of Bull of the Woods, writing most of the songs and singing lead on several numbers, 

and in his hands the 13th Floor Elevators were a very different band. Sutherland's compositions 

on Bull of the Woods are more languid and pastoral than the material that dominated the first two albums, 

and while there's still a psychedelic undertow to this music, Sutherland's music was gentler 

and his lyrics more solidly grounded in the real world than what he created in tandem with Erickson and Hall. 

At the same time, Bull of the Woods also showcases Sutherland's consistent strength as a guitarist, 

and his fluid lead lines and melodies rooted in country and blues figures are Texas psychedelic music 

at its purest and most refreshing; after the psychic roller coaster of the 13th Floor Elevators' first two albums, 

Bull of the Woods is a relatively quiet trip to the countryside, and it's joyous, frequently beautiful stuff....(AllMusic)
