Notable Release: Alejandro Escovedo

Wednesday, December 07, 2005 By Mayer Danzig

Alejandro Escovedo, Room of Songs

To tide his fans over until his next studio release, Austin legend Alejandro Escovedo released Room of Songs this past Tuesday. The album, recorded live in Austin earlier this year, features Escovedo on guitar backed by a string quartet. For fans, its a reminder of Escovedo’s musical diversity. For non-fans, its a welcome introduction to one of America’s most talented songwriters.
