"No Depression magazine (pretty much the Bible for alternative country / roots rock fans) voted Alejandro Escovedo the artist the decade for the 1990's.
His latest album is a collection of songs from the theatrical production 'By the Hand of the Father'. The album chronicles the hard work and hard times faced by Mexican immigrants as they try and carve themselves a little piece of the American dream. I promise you, you will hear nothing else like it this year. Although musically it is similar to artists like the Del Fuegos, Dave Alvin or Los Lobos the album is a uniquely theatrical work.
It is not for everyone, and as it is an expensive import CD you probably want to hear it first before rushing off and ordering it. However, it is rare to hear an album chronicle the experiences of a people in such a richly textured, emotionally moving and musically satisfying way." -AIDAN
