Alejandro Escovedo - Street Songs of Love - Music & Performance - CD

2010 release from the veteran singer/songwriter. From his days in the now legendary Punk/Alt-Country outfits the Nuns, Rank and File and his own True Believers, to his glowingly received solo gems including 2008's Real Animal, Escovedo has built a rapturous underground following among fans, songwriting peers and critics alike. His highly anticipated Fantasy Records debut, Street Songs of Love, is a 13-track celebration of survival, liberation and ultimate salvation.

Street Songs of Love, Alejandro Escovedo's follow-up to 2008's universally acclaimed Real Animal, marks a return of sorts and simultaneously begins an entirely new chapter in his long artistic career. Escovedo re-teamed with producer Tony Visconti, who helmed Real Animal's sessions. But there is also a first here. While Escovedo's live shows have been full of rock & roll moments, his albums are best-known for his poetic ballads with a few rockers carefully layered in. Street Songs of Love changes that up: this is a recording of straight-up, tough rockers with a crack band and backing chorus that weaves a few ballads into the mix. It's a startling new twist that should excite longtime fans and make the uninitiated sit up and take notice. The album was mixed by Bob Clearmountain and contains guest performances by Bruce Springsteen on "Faith," and mentor/friend Ian Hunter on "Down in the Bowery.", All Music Guide
