i was turned on to Alejandro at a music festival 15 yrs ago......saw him in a tent ....the Upright Base had me Worried.....NOT!!.....What a great experience.

[garmac002]

Damn I like this!

[texasflint]

I want this live version of this song! ??

[saxcoltrane]

one of the greats a national treasure, more talent in one of his cracked guitar picks than on all of the top 40 especially the bieber and the gaga.

[skookum602]

Sheila E is his niece. His brother's daughter

[freddyv57]

Believe it or not, Sheila E. is his sister

[dzimm408]

I saw him and the other guitar player in this video in Tallahasse and it was AMAZING. I wasn't sure what to expect and this show blew me away. See him if you get a chance. He's a real treasure.

And by the way that other guitar player is ridiculous good.

[Aerial52]

The other guitar player's name is David Pulkingham from TX.

[taildragger51]

Pete Escovedo's talented brother. I like this mans attitude to life.

[mdoggydog3]

[Whiteshark8]

San Antonio. Then Austin, of course.

[107tlightframe2]

[oxpaypayxo]

[indygochild]

Alejandro is awesome, hoping to get to see his live act soon, hear it is tremendous. Am hearing a bit of Blaze Foley coming thru on this tune....great.....

[smjak42]

He was a friend of my brother in high school in huntington beach. He used to play with the band Rank and File. Other bands also. He's cool

[informalmusic]

Hey People- Alejandro Escovedo, is from Huntington Beach, California-that is where he was raised. At one show he said he "survived" it. I can understand that, being from So. Cal. He adopted Austin, Texas after spending time in San Francisco, and New York. He is a beautiful musical genius with many records-all outstanding. He is very deep, CHECK HIM OUT!

[theonlytruepunk]

He was in the Nuns, and Rank and File and now he is solo. One of his brothers was in the Zeros. I hope that helps with your history search?

[walrus68]

first time i hear this guy, i find him interesting, but, somebody please tell me who is this guy? is he mexican?

[SuvinRK]

you can find an article about him on wikipedia.

[PnutButterJellyTime]

He was born in Texas but his parents are from Mexico, regardless his music is awesome

[beatbaker]

What do you mean by "regardless"? Are you implying that is some kind of handicap?

[sunwillset]

that was a gay question

[beatbaker]

Hmmm...Explain how that is a "gay" question.

[sunwillset]

haha... i was just yanking your chain to see if you'd take the bait. you didn't (good for you). anyway, i don't think 'pb&j time' was saying anything derogatory. i think he/she was simply saying that alejandro is a great musician - wherever he's from. i agree. and btw, i see him live tomorrow night! :)

[PnutButterJellyTime]

Yep that is what i meant, and yes hes a very good musician. :)

[jspingola]

that is all that needs to be

[cjfriz]

glad I listened to the whole thing. The last 2 minutes are the best.

[page141]

Actually, ABee, "Alejandro" is spanish for "Alexander", so you weren't far off. Good stuff, huh?

[AnotherBee]

Thanks page 141! Yeah, amazing stuff.. I saw Alejandro some years ago playing live in Germany. He rocks!

[AnotherBee]

Alejandro...sorry for mispelling his name...

It´s because I am german...

[AnotherBee]

Alexandro develops a magical energy on stage,

it takes me away...I love it...

[feuhrerfam]
