Real Animal: Alejandro Escovedo

For his ninth studio release, Escovedo gives us an album full of life and hope for the future. Slashing guitar work, a killer opening track and great songs are his new signature.

After a life-threatening experience and an album that tested his mortality, he has definitely moved the bar. You can clearly hear his San Francisco punk and pop influences on Sister Lost Soul. Just think Springsteen, John Hiatt and Barroom brawler. Alejandro Escovedo, say hello to life again.
