Alejandro Escovedo - Words and Music - 2008

There's a whole lot of energy in Alejandro Escovedo's forthcoming new album 'Real Animal' and part of it comes from exploring his wide-ranging musical past: anything from punk to poetry. Working with a co-writer helped tell the tales, and Rita Houston got more of the story when Alejandro performed acoustic versions of the songs in a sneak preview in Studio-A.
