Note:
if you want to know what this is all about check out my intro post…
Alejandro Escovedo is and artist who
it took me some time to get into.. Which is strange cause I have been a fan of
his earlier bands, The Nuns and Rank & File for a long time. He’s that rare
animal of today’s music scene who can both rock out and also comfortably sit in
with the roots rock set. It’s the mix of Glam, Punk, Folk and Country that
makes him something more than just another aging punk headed towards the roots
rock world. All of which is to say
if I got to work with him on a covers album, these are the songs I would bring
to the table.
Drivin’n’Cryin – Toy Never Played with
Jet Black Berries- Fatherly Advice
King’s X- Summerland
The Divine Horsemen- Middle of the Night
(ok not the video for the song... but this will give you an idea of what they sound like)
Blood on the Saddle- I thought I heard some
Thunder
Legal Weapon – Equalizer
Foster & Lloyd – Texas in 1880
Stan Ridgeway – The Big Heat
Animal Bag – Cheerful Mary in the Rain
Screaming Trees- Dollar Bill
Gen X – Kiss Me Deadly
Dead Moon – City of Lights
The Hellacopters – By the Grace of God
The Staggers – Bottom of the Bottle
