Prior to performing a swerving version of Lucinda Williams’ “Drunken Angel” for an intimate dinner party in Nashville on Monday night, Jason Isbell remarked how some songwriters just can’t write a good song anymore. But Williams, he said, was so unfailingly talented that she could restart her career right now and in 10 years “we’d be right back here.” Here was the BMI Troubadour Award celebration, which honored Williams — the first woman to receive the award — for decades of songwriting greatness.

Jeff Tweedy has released a cover of Roky Erickson’s “For You (I’d Do Anything),” from the upcoming compilation, May the Circle Remain Unbroken: A Tribute to Roky Erickson, set to arrive July 17th via Light in the Attic (a special vinyl version will be released as a Record Store Day exclusive).
Tweedy offers a wholly unique take on “For You (I’d Do Anything),” doing away with the tender country pluck of Erickson’s original, and instead using a mix of synths and pianos to craft a sweet and meditative soundscape.

The 13th Floor Elevators' Roky Erickson gave his mind and his band to psychedelics, and musicians in Texas and Beyond want more.
"You're gonna miss me when I'm gone," Roky Erickson sang on his band's biggest hit. The lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for the pioneering psychedelic rock band The 13th Floor Elevators was prescient. Musicians in his home state of Texas, and far beyond, are mourning a major inspiration. Erickson died in Austin, Texas, on Friday, May 31, according to Variety. The cause of death was not disclosed. Erickson was 71.
“Erickson had a visionary zeal rarely seen in 1965 when he co-founded the 13th Floor Elevators,” his management said in a statement. “The band’s original songs, many written with lyricist Tommy Hall, coupled with Erickson’s super-charged vocals and guitar, sparked the psychedelic music revolution in the mid-1960s, and led to a new role of what rock could be.
