Free Music Notes for Real Animal
Free Music Review: Superb album!!! ...top notch rock n roll...WOW!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
i'm stunned at how strong this album is.
Who would've thought that Alejandro's writing would continue to get even better? And the band(one of the finest live bands you'll ever hear) is in full bloom here, powerful and surprising in each cut - this sucker is as good as it gets, no exageration.
it's a bargain at any price, and at $9.99 here and at newbury comix this has got to be the greatest buy out there.
Hector outdoes himself throughout, btw.
as much as i love his other albums, this is the 1st studio work that hit me as immediate and as powerful as a live Alejandro show does (i've been to more than 20 since his 1st solo release).
alex, if you read this, way to go from the guy with the wood headphones.
Stop the presses!!! er, i guess I should say say CONTINUE them... the track listing is expanded on the lp version - by one more new song and 1 great cover (just be surprised, now) and it makes this absolutely great rock album even greater.
also as it should be the analog is even better sounding, and the pressing is super quiet (AND cost under 20 bucks - vs the 20 to 40 plus usd for most of the "audiophile" pressings being made today (many of which are not so quiet at all).
hard to imagine that this is "better", as it's already an immediate must have for anybody who digs the stones or the velvet underground/Lou Reed/john cale or bowie or ian hunter/mott or patti smith/lenny kaye or neil young/buffalo springfield and i really ought to add any and all garage rock.
go ahead and add to this list the best of the best by every essential rock band, from clash to brian wilson. no, wait, make it every ELEMENTAL rock band - because Alejandro's stuff is SO good that it creates new space in the musical universe where none existed before.
btw , his music often transcends genre, though this is most definately a rocker.
He's been this good really since the 1st solo album and certainly from his album "13 years" on theirs been no one building as important a new rock catalogue as Alexandro Escovedo.
But if you've got the turntable get this on lp (too). if not, get a turntable and then get it on lp. if not, get over it!
Real Animal Poster
Alejandro Escovedo's 9th solo album, produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex, Thin Lizzy), Real Animal is a collective journey through Escovedo's various musical incarnations from punk rock to string quintets and it is as introspective as it is retrospective. This album features a band of frequent collaborators, including David Pulkingham (guitar), Josh Gravelin (bass), Hector Munoz (drums), Susan Voelz (violin), Brian Standefer (cello) and Chuck Prophet (guitar). The 13 original tracks unravel Escovedo's musical autobiography while presenting him as a masterful American musician, whose palette encompasses eloquent string quintets and shattering blasts of punk rock.Pop Music CDs
