Bourbonitis Blues»rank: 17489par: Alejandro Escovedo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :When No Depression magazine declared Alejandro Escovedo 'The Artist of the Decade,' the decision must have baffled everyone except the handful of people who had actually listened to his records. 0n his three studio albums and 1998's triumphant live album, he blended violin, cello, and buzz-saw guitar to fashion an utterly distinctive chamber-punk sound. He needed such a sound to accommodate songs about the stillness and terror of those early morning hours when you can't hide from the 'what's it all for?' questions. Bourbonitis Blues isn't as epochal as ... |

Thirteen Years (Bonus Cd)»rank: 28423par: Alejandro Escovedo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :More often than not, strings have often served as a wet blanket in rock & roll, smothering the rough edges and dampening the enthusiasm. There have been exceptions, though, when a small string section has been used sympathetically on rock & roll songs, sprucing up the rhythms and sharpening the tensions. Perhaps the best examples are the Drifters' 'There Goes My Baby,' the Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby,' Van Morrison's 'Cypress Avenue,' Lou Reed's 'Street Hassle,' and Chic's 'Good Times.' Alejandro Escovedo's brilliant Thirteen Years is a landmark addition to the ... |

By The Hand Of The Father»rank: 27044par: Alejandro Escovedo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Not exactly Alejandro Escovedo's latest album, this is a partial documentation of a project he's been involved with for the past three years, an exploration of the dynamics of Mexican-American family life in words, music, and pictures. As a stage work, By the Hand of the Father has been performed all over North America to great acclaim, and from the evidence here, a lot of that has to be due to the music, some of which Escovedo fans will recognize from previous albums ('Wave,' 'Ballad of the Sun and ... |

Boxing Mirror»rank: 26575par: Alejandro Escovedo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Alejandro Agonistes may yet have a happy ending, but you wouldn't guess it from this torrent of surrealism and gothic textures. Escovedo's first album since nearly succumbing to hepatitis C and crushing debt in 2003 is the darkest, most mysterious album of his career--a harrowing, poetic soundscape partly the result of producer John Cale's industrial-noir sensibilities, but also Escovedo's own avant-garde punk roots. The difficult trilogy which opens the album moves from arid Arizona (a wasteland where the soul finds nary a drop to drink) to a conversation with ... |

A Man Under Influence»rank: 26006par: Alejandro Escovedo
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Ripe with the enigmas of loss, love and connections across great distances, A Man Under the lnfluence, Alejandro Escovedo's sixth solo album, realises the promise of his remarkable gifts as singer, songwriter and arranger. 0n spiralling tiers of pedal steel, cellos, violins and electric and acoustic guitars, his chamber-rock vision comes to full fruition. He's never made freer garage pop than 'Castanets', never stirred a more sweeping lyricism than in 'Don't Need You' and never laid bare more soul than in the heartbreaking 'Follow You Down' (a ballad Escovedo ... |
