Alejandro Escovedo has been a quiet architect of the Americana music scene since the 1980s. He has performed with and been an inspiration to Ryan Adams, the Jayhawks, Son Volt, and Steve Earle, yet his own albums have failed to reach beyond the faithful. Maybe 2010 is the year the world finally meets Alejandro Escovedo.
Armed with Bruce Springsteen's manager and David Bowie's longtime producer, Tony Visconte, Escovedo has crafted an album of tense, taut love songs. This is love on the edge — it feels out-of-control and verges on obsession. And it's a high-water mark for a man who's made ten near-perfect albums. But you can pretend it's a sterling debut from your new favorite artist.
