Straight forward Texas rocker, Alejandro Escovedo has recently released a new album called Street Songs of Love to tons of major acclaim. The New York Times described it as “In another, less fragmented pop era, this would be the album of thoughtful but radio-ready love songs to finally get Mr. Escovedo the big national audience he deserves.” and The Washington Post wrote “Working again with glam-rock producer Tony Visconti, Escovedo proudly wears his musical influences – the Stooges, New York Dolls, all manner of punk – on his sleeve. Filtered through his scuffling yet tender-hearted persona, the result, yet again, is ageless rock-and-roll.”

To make this record Austin based Escovedo worked alongside the legendary rock producer Tony Visconti (Morrissey, Bowie, U2) and and called in friends such as Ian Hunter, and received a helping hand from little known musician named Bruce Springsteen. Alejandro Escovedo has created a classic record totally worth adding to your list of new summer music to check out.
