The space rock Roky Erickson and the best of the four Hawkwind vocalists-- I know, low bar-- in their classic years; 1970-1975. From a solo album called Captain Lockheed & The Starfighters. The cracked actor Captain schtick is "The Right Stuff" and Calvert's best stuff. Very proto-'70s punk rock. And an indelible vocal stylist, if eccentric and more than a little erratic. Eno produced a couple solo albums with him. Calvert also wrote poetry and short science fiction. Johnny Rotten says he was an early influence. The Don Quixote of space rock.
Punk Rock Tuesday.
