Description
"This record breathes a second life into these songs," says Alejandro Escovedo of Echo Dancing, the Americana pioneer's new album where he reconceptualizes the songs of his storied career - The variety of songs range from his short-lived rock quartet Buick MacKane, rarities from his '80s alt-country outfit The True Believers, to the celebrated songs of his solo discography from his debut album all the way to his most recent sprawling masterpiece, The Crossing.
Highlights include a reimagined trip-hop-funk hybrid of Escovedo's "Castanets" (retitled here as "Castanuelas''), a blistering version of "Bury Me" that finds that songwriter now older than the characters he was singing about, as well as songs co-written with trailblazers such as Chuck Prophet, Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and J. Steven Soles. At age 73, Escovedo continues to reshape his ever-changing sound and experiment with the boundaries of Americana music.
