@alejandro_escovedo’s 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 is an experiment in how to use the past to shape the future. By recording completely new and repurposed versions of songs from his past, Escovedo actually had a chance to rewrite his own history. It’s also an idea that pushes growth into the present, and asks an artist to see themselves anew. “I always feel that a well-written song can withstand a lot of abuse,” Escovedo says. It is an area of creativity that the man has always honored. “Turning a past song inside out leads to discovery of new ideas you might not have understood about the song,” he says. “Even lyrical refurbishing has proven helpful and effective. It’s like interpreting your own work anew. The songs never seem to be complete. They are always evolving.” The album was released on this day in 2024: listen & celebrate with us at the link in bio.

In the fifty years of playing and living Rock n Roll music. Last night was truly a one of a kind moment. Radio City Music Hall was an experience I will always remember. Forever grateful to Jason Isbell, the 400 unit, his crew and his management for having us on such an iconic gig. Special thanks to Britt Daniel for joining us on a song off of our upcoming album that he and Charlie Sexton co-produced. Scott Danbom and Mark Henne collectively known as The Electric Saints. Brandon Eggleston for making us sound like kings. And to our friends and family that were there to witness this iconic moment. Thank you for all of the years of love and support. Alejandro Escovedo and The Electric Saints. 📷 Danny Clinch

I am thrilled to announce that my new album, Echo Dancing, will be released on March 29 via @yeproc. The first single “Bury Me” is out now— a song I first wrote in the early ‘90s, fittingly released today on my 73rd birthday. My original idea was to record an album of new material. But then I changed my mind and thought that revisiting songs from my various albums would be more interesting. I always feel that a well-written song can withstand a lot of abuse. Turning a past song inside out leads to the discovery of new ideas you might not have understood. The songs never seem to be complete. They are always evolving. The greatest gift is getting to share my music with you all— I hope you enjoy the song and can’t wait for you to hear the full record. You can stream “Bury Me” and pre-order the album now at the link in bio. Album photography by @nancyrankinescovedo
