Alejandro Escovedo Artist Snapshot:

Born in San Francisco into the well-known musical Escovedo family (brother Coke Escovedo was in Santana, and his niece is 1980s pop star Sheila E), Alejandro Escovedo was an integral part of the original alternative country scene as a member of the pioneering Rank and File and leader of the True Believers. His solo career, commencing with 1992's Gravity, has made him a beloved cult figure on the alt-country scene; he was named Artist of the Decade by No Depression magazine in 1999. After he became seriously ill with Hepatitis C, a 2003 tribute album helped pay his medical bills.

Review

Spin (4/01, p.162) - 7 out of 10 - "...Vintage Escovedo....As he's done on a series of understated, underrated chamber-rock albums, [he] scatters familiar elements into new alignments..."
Q (7/01, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Melodic and moving..."
Magnet (6-7/01, pp.86-7) - "...Devastatingly rich..."
CMJ (4/16/01, p.5) - "...A great album....meaty, thick with heartbreaking and heartbroken characters and themes..."
