Show is pure Al, including a Mott the Hoople cover… By Uncle Blurt Since it’s no secret we here at BLURT are massive Alejandro Escovedo fans, let’s just cut to the chase: a couple of weeks ago he and his latest combo (he calls it The Alejandro Escovedo Experience, fittingly enough) played a small venue […]
Track Premiere: Painted Redstarts do Alejandro Escovedo
Very special tune with a very special pedigree… By Blurt Staff We’ve gone on record as being fans of Austin Americana indie outfit the Painted Redstarts – the band’s video for “Curtains Wide” video (directed by Geoff Marslett) debuted right here at Blurt last summer. The group’s musical pedigree is noteworthy too: Alejandro Escovedo’s old […]

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO + AMY COOK, 11/22/13 Denver, CO
BY TIM HINELY / PHOTO BY JD BAMFORD Not having seen Alejandro Escovedo live prior to this evening—although I’d definitely heard Nuns, Rank & File and True Believers back in the day—I was not disappointed by his show at Denver’s Soiled Dove on November 22. He picked a perfect opener on the tour, California-bred/ Austin, […]
Alejandro Escovedo – Big Station
(Fantasy) www.concordmusicgroup.com If there was any doubt that Alejandro Escovedo could sustain his creative arc since his alliance with producer Tony Visconti and co-writer Chuck Prophet in 2008, Big Station will easily dispel it.
