Opinions on Alejandro Escovedo
« on: 1 Mar 2007, 04:54 pm »
I just bought his newest work, "The Boxing Mirror," and am having a hard time forming an opinion of it. I don't dislike it, but it hasn't really grabbed my attention after a few listens. Usually I either really like something, dislike it. or gradually begin to really like it, but this has not been the case with this one. Not sure why. :scratch: Anyone else have an opinion on this one?

I haven't been able to digest it fully yet either (2months or so). :lol:

However, if you don't already own this one I think it's worth checking out:

This one has grown on me.  However, I do live in his hometown and they play a lot of it on the radio, so I've had a chance to for it to sink in.  It may not be for everybody, though.

I loved all the early bands he was in ... True Believers , Buick McKane , Rank & File .  True Believers & Buick McKane rocked . Rank & File were cool new wavers . I could never get into his solo records .
