Whether you pigeonhole singer-songwriter-guitarist Alejandro Escovedo as alt-country or Americana or just call him a pop musician, his career has been the proverbial long, strange trip – and, ultimately, a good one. I mean, the guy was close to death from Hepatitis-C in 2003. Thanks to modern medicine and the financial support of his friends and fans, he recovered – and has since released his eighth and ninth solo albums, including this year’s eclectic, electric Real Anima...

The new Alejandro Escovedo album is excellent. Alejandro was in the '70s punk band The Nuns, then played guitar in Rank & File before launching a long and creative solo career which continues. Dig this one.

While waiting for my LP of Real Animal to arrive at my local record shop, I have had to make due with what ever tracks I have been able to scavenge from the net at the moment. I am kind of a late comer to the Alejandro Escovedo party... but not really, as I have been a fan of his past fans bands, The Nuns and Rank'n'File for some time... but after reading a lot about him and his records I picked up The Boxing Mirror while on vacation in Hawaii several years back. The tr... MORE

I purchased my first album based purely on a Mogger's recommendation a few days ago. I can't add anything to Mike The Knife's perfect review. http://mog.com/Mike_the_Knife/blog_post/172158 Thank God he's not dead. This world needs Alejandro Escovedo. To hear music this carefully crafted, this damn cared about, is a truly unexpected treat. 8/10 Thanks Mike...I owe you one.

Great San Francisco band from the early 90s, ... MORE

It finally arrived... my LP of Real Animal, only it's really 2 LP, and it includes two tracks that are not on the CD.... I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it looks great, with it's crisp white cover and gate fold opens to reveal the lyrics... I know that it's gonna get dinged up and handled, but that's what it's for.... more to come.

A year ago, I saw Alejandro Escovedo speak at the Bandwidth Conference. Embarrassingly, I was not particularly familiar with his work, but the stories he told and songs he played had me very interested. Its fitting now that a year later, I am listening to his most recent release, Real Animal while anticipating this year's conference. Escovedo is a student of many styles, having played in punk band the Nuns, as well as the more alt country Rank and File. These differ... MORE
