ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO AND OTHER NEW CD RECOMMENDATIONS AT RX!
“In a way, I didn’t want Alejandro Escovedo‘s new album, ‘Street Songs of Love,’ to be as great as it is. Escovedo has long been one of those musicians with the sort of dedicated fans — critics and other musicians among them — who take pride in his just-under-the-radar status. … ‘Street Songs of Love’ may well increase the number of music lovers who claim Escovedo as their own. The songwriting, with collaborator Chuck Prophet, may be his best ever, and the guest contributors include Bruce Springsteen and Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople fame. But what really sets this album above his usual high standard is the way he plays with his backing band, The Sensitive Boys.” — Felix Contreras, NPR
