ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO, JULY 18TH AT HARLOW’S SACRAMENTO
AS HEARD ON K-ZAP!
Alejandro Escovedo released Echo Dancing, his first album in six years, on March 29 via YepRoc. It finds the punk/Americana great revisiting and reinventing songs from throughout his career. “I always feel that a well-written song can withstand a lot of abuse,” Escovedo says. “Turning a past song inside out leads to discovery of new ideas you might not have understood about the song. Even lyrical refurbishing has proven helpful and effective. It’s like interpreting your own work anew. The songs never seem to be complete. They are always evolving.”
“Bury Me,” is a song he wrote in the early ’90s wondering what would happen if he “should die before he turns 43.” For the record, Alejandro turned 73 this month. The gnarled production and arrangement fits this survivor song.
