Our Take
Alejandro Escovedo's "By the Hand of the Father" is a delightful blend of Tex-Mex, punk rock, and heartfelt storytelling that will have you dancing one moment and crying the next. Escovedo, with his signature gravelly voice and masterful guitar skills, leads listeners on a musical journey through the trials and triumphs of his Mexican-American heritage. The album opens with the rollicking "Castanets," a foot-stomping anthem that sets the tone for what's to come. The infectious energy continues with "Velvet Guitar," a love letter to Escovedo's trusty instrument that showcases his versatile playing style. But it's the poignant ballads that truly shine on this record, such as "Rosalie" and "Across the River," which tug at the heartstrings with their lyrical depth and emotional delivery. Escovedo's storytelling prowess is on full display in tracks like "Wave" and "Nickel and a Spoon," where he weaves tales of love, loss, and redemption with a raw honesty that is both moving and relatable. The album closes with the haunting "The Last to Know," a gut-wrenching reflection on life's uncertainties that leaves a lasting impression. Overall, "By the Hand of the Father" is a masterful work of art that highlights Escovedo's unique musical vision and cultural heritage. With its catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious energy, this album is a must-listen for fans of Americana music and anyone looking for a musical experience that transcends genre boundaries.
