No one has really ever been able to define themselves and their music like singer-songwriter
Alejandro Escovedo does. His life in music of all kinds sometimes feels like a swirl through the
sky, where his songs point out all the majesty and mystery of how he sees the world. The
sounds he makes take him places that he might not even predict, but once there, greatness
always follows. It’s just the way Escovedo is. It has happened over and over for decades,
almost like a fateful agreement he has with the cosmos. There is a good chance it cannot be
explained, especially by him.

Maybe that’s because this is a musician who feels magic, both in himself and the world around
him, and is open to the experience of whatever comes his way. It is not always easy, and can
have a high demand on how a person lives. But it is the way that Escovedo is always moving
forward.
