Hab's bislang leider verpaßt, mich näher mit Escovedo zu befassen. Hat jemand den einen oder anderen Anspieltip? |

Alejandro Escovedo by Zane Ewton . Alejandro Escovedo - The Boxing Mirror Admittedly, I knew nothing of Alejandro Escovedo. Some background should help to shed some light on what critics are claiming (and rightfully so) is Escovedo's masterwork, The Boxing Mirror. Escovedo's career began in the '70s as a member of punk band the Nuns before forming the promising Rank and File, who blended country, rock and punk on one release, 1979's Sundown. Another promising but ultimately failing band, the True Believers, ended the 1980's with a thud for Escovedo. However, Escovedo has spent the last decade building a solo career with albums that are always critically acclaimed, along with the support of a growing following. In 2003, Escovedo collapses on stage and was later diagnosed with hepatitis C. His fellow musicians were quick to respond with benefit concerts and a tribute album in an effort to relieve his medical expenses. What better way to come back from a serious setback than to craft an album that is as close to perfect as possible? The Boxing Mirror is a deep, engaging and emotional record. So many musical elements came together to create songs that are creepy, heartwarming, uplifting, reflective, sparse, pretty, and rocking. Sometimes all of those elements in one single song. Album opener "Arizona" lays such a dark and deflated mood that four minutes into the record you have been taken so low it feels there may be no recovery. The mood doesn't lighten much throughout songs like "Dear Head on the Wall" or "Looking for Love", but the music is so appealing that it is impossible not to follow along. Not until track six does Escovedo turn up the guitars and let loose on the rocking "Break this Time." "Sacramento & Polk" crunches with some Stooges swagger before fading into the absolutely beautiful "Died a Little Today." The musicianship throughout is undeniable, Escovedo's vocals and guitar playing is inspired and is the cornerstone of the album. It has been a pleasure to learn a little about this man and his music. The Boxing Mirror is a must listen. Rating: ***** |

Sehr schöner Countryrock, vor allem wenn weniger laut Rock und mehr schwitzig ruhig Country. |
