KUTX Presents: Alejandro Escovedo
Who says there are no second chances?
Alejandro Escovedo’s new album, Echo Dancing, is an outlier in his long discography. It’s a do-over, a remake, a look over your shoulder at all the baggage you trail behind.
There have been plenty of greatest hits compilations. And many artists have re-recorded their songs in an attempt to get rights to their material. Echo Dancing (released 3/29 and celebrated with his Studio 1a performance) isn’t really either of these things. It’s a re-framing, an old photograph seen in an entirely new light.
It’s easy to understand Escovedo’s temptation. His life and career, even before he arrived in Austin in 1980, is full of the narrative drama of a novel (and maybe someday we’ll get one). Since arriving here he has become an inseparable part of this city’s legend. Read more at kutx.org/words-on-music/music...
