Day Dream Albums- Alejandro Escovedo

Day Dream Albums- Alejandro Escovedo 

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
