Roky Erickson (born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, harmonica player and guitarist from Texas. He was a founding member of the 13th Floor Elevators and pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. One of rock and roll's most famous cult figures, Erickson is perhaps as well-known for his mental illness (and subsequent recovery) as for his musical talents. Wikipedia
