Free Music Notes for Thirteen Years (Bonus CD)
Free Music Review: Harrowing. Roots rock to Soutwestern chamber music
Hit: 4 Stars
Vol 1. Concept album on his reaction to the suicide of his lover and the mother of his children. Harrowing if you pay attention. Unlike anything I have ever heard-like, maybe, chamber music by Gram Parsons. But Escovedo's voice is always more interesting. From powerful, roots-based rock & roll to strings-based whatever, from his own Chamber Southwest group. Standouts: tr 4-Way it goes (Country-rock anthem that grows from a quiet personal statement to something resonant and bigger. Lyric: "God bless the child that don't have a mother to put her to sleep."). tr 5-Losing your touch (slamming, anthemic rocker that might have come from the Midwest (Bob Seger) or the Stones). tr 10-Tell me while (seemingly from country weeper by Gram Parsons into Escoveda Chamber Southwest). tr 13-Baby's got new plans (anthem of personal loss with the resonance of a last Indian tribe in New Mexico). tr 14-The end (Lyric: "I've got some questions that need answering.... This is really the end.") [52:25]
Vol. 2. Tender, acoustic, elegiac tracks, including 4 instrumental takes on Vol. 1 tracks; 3 live versions of tracks not on Disc 1, and a rocking take on "Gravity". Stand-outs: tr 8-Helpless (slow funky strut that makes me think about Peggy Lee or the Blasters). tr 9-Mountain of mind (straight-ahead country rocker). [37:45]
Thirteen Years (Bonus CD) Poster
More often than not, strings have often served as a wet blanket in rock & roll, smothering the rough edges and dampening the enthusiasm. There have been exceptions, though, when a small string section has been used sympathetically on rock & roll songs, sprucing up the rhythms and sharpening the tensions. Perhaps the best examples are the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," Van Morrison's "Cypress Avenue," Lou Reed's "Street Hassle," and Chic's "Good Times." Alejandro Escovedo's brilliant Thirteen Years is a landmark addition to the latter tradition. Unlike Elvis Costello's "Juliet Letters," which used a string quartet without a rock & roll rhythm section, Thirteen Years marries the dense, sustaining harmonies of the one to the implacable momentum of the other. --Geoffrey HimesCountry Music CDs
