New Roky Erickson / Okkervil River Song!

Roky Erickson is back for the first time in years with a new album on Anti- , featuring Okkervil River as his backing band. Erickson and Okkervil River have played together before, once at the Austin Music Awards in 2008 and at SXSW in 2009. I am more than a little excited about this! I got really into Erickson last year, especially after seeing the fantastic documentary called "You're Gonna Miss Me". The album is called "True Love Cast Out All Evil" and is due out April 20, 2010 with Will Sheff of Okkervil River also producing. Here is the first track released off the album called "Goodbye Sweet Dreams." If you've already seen the doc, you'll recognize the song as he played it on his acoustic close to the end. All hail Roky, king of the beasts!
