Easter Everywhere

As promised, here is another post on the 13th Floor Elevators. Today we're gonna take a look at their second album, Easter Everywhere from 1967. Roky Erickson and Tommy Hall's songwriting had gotten looser and more consistent by the time of this release. Hall's electric jug again adds an unsettling warble to the songs. Here, we're going to listen to the album opener, "Slip Inside This House", a cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue", and another Erickson-Hall original, "I've Got Levitation". A tip of the hat to Johnny for making me check out this album a little while ago.
