Stacy Sutherland was the amazing, unique, psychedelic guitarist from the legendary 13th Floor Elevators. Vicki Welch Ayo has put together an intimate look into Stacy's life through various correspondences from people related to Stacy or involved in his life including; his mother Sybil Sutherland, various acquaintances, and "Bunni," Stacy's wife at the time who fatally shot and killed him at their home back in August of 1978. Some people had complained that this wasn't a "book" on Stacy's life and just correspondences through letters, but I really like it. It's a unique, sort of candid, intimate way to tell the story of Stacy. And the story IS told; Stacy's mother tells of his early life, friends and others tell of his musical legacy, and letters from Bunni give a close look into their life - the good and the bad. I was fascinated about their journeys, foraging to find psychedelic mushrooms - a theory was even put forth how a bad bout of drought made Stacy hit alcohol and harder drugs due to the absence of the shrooms. Dig it!
