Idolator
Austin legend Alejandro Escovedo has (sadly) mostly dwelled in alt-country obscurity, despite an impressive solo catalog and a number of famous fans. Tonight, though, Escovedo will get some airtime on national TV; he's scheduled to perform "People (We're Only Gonna Live So Long)" from his Tony Visconti-produced album Real Animal as a warmup act for Hillary Clinton's appearance at the Democratic National Convention. A few clips from Alejandro's career after the cut.
"Castanets" turned up on George W. Bush's iPod somehow, which prompted the song's removal from Escovedo's setlists until recently:
"Always a Friend", with Bruce Springsteen:
"Juarez" and "Rosalie":

Wot, no Rank and File?
I do love me some Escovedo.
Will Chuck Prophet be joining him onstage? :)
I was introduced to Escovedo through his recent appearance at a festival in Camden, NJ. Seems like some pretty good stuff.
