However, it is a great collection to see what songs you like. <BR/><BR/>I saw him at the Continental Club in Austin 2 years ago while the ACL Festival was going on. This was shortly after he returned to touring after his illness. He was still pretty weak, rested quite a bit. I was thrilled because it was a no-smoking show!Fiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904414447186532083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096536314890902830.post-45787253886940997612007-06-26T20:12:00.000-05:002007-06-26T20:12:00.000-05:00Actually it was a tribute CD containing his music ...Actually it was a tribute CD containing his music performed by other artists. Bummer I didn't realize it wasn't him before I bought it. I chalk it up to a blonde moment. I still like the CD though. If you want to look for it, it's called "Por Vida" and was released in 2004. It says that a portion of the proceeds would be donated to Alejandro's medical and living expense fund. Didn't he almost die from hepatitis or something like that?<BR/><BR/>It does have one song by him ("Break This Time"). Some of the other artists on it are Los Lonely Boys, Lucinda Williams, Charlie Musselwhite, Sheila E., his younger brother Javier Escovedo, etc.Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096536314890902830.post-65204089248332633202007-06-26T12:43:00.000-05:002007-06-26T12:43:00.000-05:00Which CD?

He and the girl he was dating at that time said they wanted to take me to a concert. It was Alejandro Escovedo. I had never even heard of him, but instantly fell in love with his music and walked out of the concert with a CD. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else talk about him before you!Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096536314890902830.post-5024142974913057252007-06-24T08:40:00.000-05:002007-06-24T08:40:00.000-05:00I know they show it in KS and have for as long as ...I know they show it in KS and have for as long as I can remember.
