I went to see Alejandro Escovedo last week, an amazing artist whose Boxing Mirror was one of my favorite albums last year. The Boxing Mirror is all about Escovedo's year from hell, the year his father died and he himself almost passed away, too, after collapsing at a performance of In His Hands from complications of hepatitus C. One of the very cool things about The Boxing Mirror is its use of strings, so it was doubly interesting to see Escovedo backed by his "string qu... MORE

I've been working in this office for over 4 months now and found out this morning that there is a CD Cellar almost touching my office building, needless to say I am totally ecstatic.

The new guitarist (Jon Dee Graham’s replacement) is an incredible player. Jon Dee who? The new celloist is stunning — and it’s great fun to watch him and Alejandro fee... MORE

If you haven't heard Alejandro Escovedo's new one, The Boxing Mirror, do yourself a favor and go listen to it. Beautiful, heartfelt, and rockin' music. Go see him live, too.
Once you've listened a few dozen times, you can head on over to neumu and read Jennifer Kelly's piece about Alejandro and my review of The Boxing Mirror (I'm not above the occasional shameless plug!).
