This is a must have album. Seriously one of my favorite recent discoveries. Wish I had found it years ago. This is one of the finest moments on it. Gritty garage psych.
Right on. I just discovered this also. Surprised me how much I like it.
Truth here
Fabulous.
The last vinyl I found of this was almost $2,000
@@chevyman8768 Damn. That's interesting. I guess they don't press them any more or something but that would surprise me.
Rest In Peace dear Roky, we 're gonna miss you!
I had no idea he had passed on. So sad.
You say that like Roky died.
one of the many TX legends
Naaah, he ain't dead :)
He did his job on Earth, now he departed to his home planet.
And the next jam session on another planet starts soon, so book your rocket ASAP 😎🚀

FUCK, i would LOVE to see this guy live one more time
@@mfort8487 not the Big deal what else You got?
Roky Erickson is SO FUCKING GOOD AT SINGINGGGG
best yet ...
Word is Roky has passed on. RIP Roky, we love you! Thank you.
RIP to a true original
One of the very best voices rock'n'roll has ever produced. Still gives med the chills in just the right way.
RIP Roky,thanks for all the great tunes.
Rest in peace my friend. You will always be loved and missed dearly.
My heart is broken today. R.I.P Roky!
His definitive offering. RIP Roky. There was no one like you.
I have to thank Sonic Highways too. This rocks!
Me too.
Same :)
Yep- came straight here to hear this again.
My nephews are repeating it on our playlist. Yellin' 2 headed dog all over the house. One is 7 other is 5
That's where I found out about Roky. Amazing and 13 Elevators so ahead of their time.
Sad to hear of his passing on. Roky was a gentle genuine genius, he was punished for being who he was, a product of the fooked up system that would not let him be. Much love to you mr. Roky, you were and are my hero. Peace
yes was he with the 13th floor elevators
This is one of the most amazing songs ever made.
Roky is God
@@rolandkinney7424 God is a little man. Roky is ROCK.
Antiseen dd a great cover of this
It IS the most amazing song.
When this popped up in the mid 70s nothing could touch it...still sounds the business.
I love how the lyrics are so abstract and surreal, and how Erickson sings them with so much conviction. A great tune.
It's actually about Soviet experiments where they transplanted the head of a puppy onto the body of an adult dog. Don't look it up if you're easily disturbed.
I can remember the first time I heard this song - and the whole time I was like, "is he REALLY saying two-headed dog?" yes, he is.
@@jeanettewittstein7656 Loosely based. It still qualifies as having vague and mysterious lyrics, I mean some of it has religious connotations, and mentions classic rock and roll themes. Clearly not simply about that 😅
This is Roky's "Vietnam" song though it touches upon other things, chief among them being Roky's vision of the future, namely NOW (It seems). But it is true that in any time you can believe that it is the time of Roky's prophesy. He references the Soviet experiments, but the song is not about that. And he never once says "I've been working in The Kremlin". He says, "I'd BE working in the Kremlin ...". People tend to hear that wrong. Listen again. I happened to be with him when he wrote this song (and others). Thank You.
This guy is a legend.
Roky knew everything and they called him crazy.
So did Jim Morrison and he too died. No amount of money, fame or knowledge will keep any of us from the grave. When you really think about it. Who honestly wants to live forever. After your family, friends and the time you knew fades away. Who are you, what are you and how do you fit in. What is a man who out lives the time of his God?

@@johnnyssik Not the worst answer. But seriously think if everything and everyone that you have ever known went away. How out of place would you feel? I'm sure most elderly people feel that way most of the time.
You kept the faith right until the end, Roky. Now R.I.P. man. You sure earned it ✊🏼
Saw this guy more than once. 1966 in Galveston Tx. Kirwin High Dances on Sat nights. RIP Roky
Wow! That’s awesome😲👍
We need rock and roll like this again! We could sure use it!
your right
That time has come and gone. All we can do is wait to see what's up next for music. Hopefully at some point in the future we will get something just as good as this music was if not better. We will just have to stay tuned.
Damn, went on a Roky binge a week ago. No doubt he'd say I was reverberating with the death yet to come.
RIP.
a one-off, original of the highest order...bless you, Roky
Roky shredding reality to accommodate his awesomely splintered mind. Any veteren of of the elevators history through the masterpiece 'Eyemind' will know the wicked musical lengths Roky went to; employing elaborate distortion as a radical form of shamanic sensory auto-regulation. Badass at its very finest, rest in much deserved peace Mr. Erickson, your music always brings channeled meaning to my own psychosis.
Horror rock stochastic resonance, a true spirit guide to schizos everywhere.
Dude .. THIS ⬆️ Awesome comment , Dan! I get it
Roky Erickson - Champion and Legend RIP
You were and are a Musical Treasure Roky ..I have listened to you for many moons and each moon my consciousness changes every time ..a lovely transcendence your songs have brought me ..RIP
Rocky is the GREATEST singer in rock and roll.
Thanx Roky for all the gifts that you bestowed upon us.Rest peacefully my brother.
Best rock vocalist ever
God damn, the world is way less cool after today :(
he'd want you to keep ya chin up! where there's negative aspects, there's the same amount of good if you try to see through.
Duck that... Start thinkin with your other head
@lanekays I like you. Fellow hippie mindset. There’s duality in everything.
one of the best vocals in a song
Jimi Gamelan Very true!! Greetings from New Orleans Louisiana peace & Music ☆♡☆OpaL
James Brown was a huge inspiration for Roky Erickson. When you want to grab the audience's attention just scream out the words as loud as you can.
ahhhh real music........sounds beautiful
So underrated, great song. Rest easy Roky.
Psychedelic churning at its finest. So good!
Respect..RIP Roky💔New Orleans Louisiana StephanieOpAl ..Super Big influence on s.o. many musicians 🎶
Today's music with not ever compare
Roky was a true visionary and pioneer of the music of the 70's. Its a shame that too many things got in the way of fame and success. Talent that never had the opportunity to reach its full potential.
Maybe he did reach his full potential without fame.getting in the way.
Killer tune.
Just came here to get warmed up for October, and found out Roky is gone. Gutted, completely passed me by. RIP, one of my music heroes. ;-;
Count em 🐶🐶
Oh man that's Ruff!
It was my first moment experiencing Roky, ever. A Saturday early evening. north berkeley, a copy of the evil one lp that i checked out from the library that afternoon on a hunch. i put the needle down on the black plastic. a scrrtch and then that great crazy flare-up of guitar. like a demon rooster crowing dawn in hell. and nothing was ever the same after that.
Thanks. It is an autoharp crowing the intro. It often squawked like a bird.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROKY!!!
TODAY EXACTLY 68 YEARS BEFORE
when
ROKY ERICKSON
(born July 15, 1947)
was born...
+Ivo Ponduša All Hail The ROK. The Cloak Off Maby Colours Spoke Off In The Bible
A masterpiece. He was one of the most important and influential artists in my life. A true poet and a maverick. May he rest in peace and his evil maniac of a mother burn in hell 🖤🖤🖤
almost 10 years
"Destruction leads to a very rough road, but it also breeds creation"
Roky Erickson.. speek to me!!! Nice work!!!
This is one of the best Roky's song.....It is really good
St. Roky. we will always love you.
Man....I just can’t believe Rocky’s gone. R.I.P🙏
RIP Rocky 🙏❤️😇
I saw a documentary about Roky back in 2007! He came out of depression? Then I saw concerts on this show that were badass awesome! Then just now I saw what others posted here.. sounds like he passed away ( !) Bummer! I loved some of his weird songs.. Gonna miss a good one here, and please "Don't Shake Me Lucifer"!
WTF, this has been out 15 years..... new music from my playlist
Roky at the Kremlin ... cold war for alligators .
The lead guitar is celestrial 💫
The pinnacle of rock music
Well sung and well played.
My faithful dog passed and I'm heartbroken. I ended up here for comfort.
I had a Time Life CD of punk rock from the 70s that I got from a used CD store. And it had this song on the CD
gottes segen für dich und segen für die tolle Musik
I listen to this while I skate this song is so sick!!!

I love this song
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Peace brought back
Bought back
Relaxed be nyet
Brought back
Did you dry her out
Wind her out like jerky?
To me she's healed, don't attack
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Children nailed to the cross
Pain does not look our hell
Certainly is not a spell
Sweet waste from a well
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog
Alright
Winds quiet in the night
Her body just blows messiah
Sickening sweet sight
Left and right
Is all right?
Does not please my appetite
Two headed dog
Two headed dog
I've been working in the Kremlin
With a two-headed dog

"I'd BE workin' in the Kremlin ..." - NOT "I've been". He never ever once said "Ive been".
I used to think it was "I've been working in the crimson" 😂
thanks for posting, two headed dogs kick ass!
This guy is fucking badass. Fucking brilliant. I'm gonna start looking for him at record stores. VINYL VINYL VINYL. It's expensive man, it takes my money away.
I have been (idly) looking for this song for maybe 15-18 years! Wonderful to hear it again.
in 2016, when i was 6 years old, everyday after softball practice, my mom would play this album, led zeppelin II, ride the lightning, and the doors. the good old days...
This is amazing!! Just when you thought it was safe to go out at night.
I have a haunted head 🗣️
Brings back memories. Played this in a band myself, in my younger days, as did most musos I hung out with. What a voice.
love this songgggg
When old mangled tapes are still precious my precious
a fiery masterpiece.
Great voice!!!!
he is amazing.. this one and "cold night for aligators" was the first songs i heard with roky erickson and that was when i was about 6years old.. and i love this song :D
tnx to uploader :P
sorry for bad english.. i'm from norway
Roky intended it for the children of the future. Welcome home, friend.
Very Underrated. And Magnificently Diabolical. Big Love.
GREAT voice!
Bigger than fuckin' life. Rest in peace, master.
Sonic Highways has changed my life!!!
I would totally blast this on repeat while driving the highways at night.
wailin like a mother. damn great vocals. love it!!!! one of the greatest.
