MIND-BLOWING Facts About the 13th Floor Elevators You Never Knew

🎸 Before The Doors, before Jefferson Airplane—there was a Texas band doing something truly mind-expanding. The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators isn’t just a debut album. It’s the blueprint for psychedelic rock. In this deep dive, we break down the band’s chaotic origins, their iconic jug-fueled sound, and why this album still matters today. You’ll hear the full story of Roky Erickson, Tommy Hall, and the band that invented the word psychedelic in rock. Plus: Did Janis Joplin really almost join the Elevators? (Short answer: Yes.) And I worked right next to the Austin building where it happened. ** Clementine Hall is on "Splash 1", not "Tried To Hide".
