5 out of 5 stars Alejandro Escovedo - With These Hands (with bonus).......2004-08-10

Alejandro Escovedo is a master at writing what might best be called the epic ballad. Conventionally we are used to `epic' songs being long affairs, with majestic lyrics talking of grand ideas complemented by overstated guitar solos and a dense sound. What is this all in the name of? Power. But as Escovedo shows in his recently re-released album With These Hands, there are more interesting ways to make powerful music.

A classic case in point is the album's emotional centre-piece, Pissed Off 2am. Normal song classification would have this number down as a ballad. As with most ballads, it has subject matter which is sad, it is slow-paced, it has sweet but not cloying harmonies, and it is full of the language of loss, drink, and lack of meaning. It touches the listener, and creates a visual image - the two protagonists are there, right in front of you, you feel like you know everything there is to know about their story, you share the singer's despair...ultimately you begin to identify with him, however silly and inappropriate this is. But this song has something else - it has a subtle but clearly present force, which drives the song in a way which sets it apart from most ballads. It is difficult to pin down exactly how Escovedo achieves this. As with all good epics, there is a piano - but it isn't ostentatious plonking in the best Meat Loaf style, it is more a series of delicate whispers, just in the right place, adding to the melody rather than disguising the lack of one. The lyrics also play their part in creating such a unique song - they are not the simple platitudes of loss, but something far more complex. Escovedo doesn't just have to fight the reasons given to him for the changes in his life - there are also "barricades", real obstacles, which he tries to knock down merely by denying their meaning. But the barricades appear again and again in the song, and the story remains unfinished, the suffering unresolved.

That, in fact, is the theme of the album - a yearning for times past, a realisation that times have changed in irreversible ways, and, at times, an uncertain hope that things will be happy in new ways. The initial rumblings and catchy bass riff of the opening song, Put You Down, give way to a description of a love that the singer just cannot relinquish, and then we are away - eleven songs of what might be called `Americana' music if only because that term means so little and encompasses so much. Acoustic folk, rustic country, Latino, rock and roll...actually that last term is sufficient on its own. The Band's film The Last Waltz contains a revealing interview with Levon Helm, in which he describes how lots of different musical genres come together in Tennessee, as it is geographically the heart of the United States. The result? "Rock and roll". Escovedo's album is a classic exposition of this fusion. The song which sounds most like a rock and roll song is probably Guilty. Unlike most of the song on the album, it is not in the first or second person - it tells a story of someone else, a man who lost his way, wrapped up in shame. But this is not just a token loud, pull-out-all-the-stops, rocker. It has a superb hook - that moment in the chorus where the lyrics are perfectly matched by the melody, and where the band comes together and feels the movement, the change, in the song.

Towards the end of the album, there is another epic ballad, and this time the power of the song is more easily identifiable. The theme of loss and renewal is poetically exposed at the outset: "Take this old and very tired skin / wrap up a newborn baby and keep her warm again". Judged on paper, the words have the potential to sound trite, but with the warmth and sincerity of the vocals, the song sounds natural and almost unassuming. The ability of music itself to rejuvenate is also recognised: "Take this old and worn out violin and hold it in your arms / and make it sing".

By the time we reach the album's title track, the record is almost complete - this is a song Escovedo wrote for his father, and the life of this brilliant but only moderately successful songwriter is put in context by the line "They say death's the only peace the poor understand". The song builds in intensity as it re-acquaints us with the restless growls of the opening number, and we see the light, it moves "faster, howling like the wind blows"...and the singer tells us that the water of the river will heal our wounds - because once again, although the song is not about us, we feel what he is saying. Finally, the album ends and we are reminded that it contains no clear message, just some themes which point the songs in particular directions - because over some more fantastically shimmering piano work, Tugboat ends by reminding us that "Gone gone those days are gone / gone gone gone". With Escovedo now seriously ill with hepatitis C, these thoughts move beyond being simply poignant and assume the weight of real tragedy.

This being a re-release, it comes with a variety of bonus tracks and live performances of the album's songs and others, and they too are well worth hearing - the variety of Escovedo's performances is just as evident live as it is in the studio. With These Hands is not an album to be enjoyed just by fans of alt-country, Americana, or any other label. It is an album to be enjoyed by those who like good quality songs and near-perfect performance. It is a set of songs that music fans will relish.

5 out of 5 stars Holy Alejandro! This disc ROCKS!.......2004-02-26

I already knew Alejandro could write weepers and rockers. In fact, I already owned the previous version of With These Hands, which I've nearly worn out. Intrigued by the extra tracks on this one (mostly live), I jumped on the "remaster" bandwagon. This is one FANTASTIC release, and the live tracks, extremely well-recorded, prove Al's live muscle once again. Easily the best of the Alejandro remasters, this is a must for any Alejandro junkie, and a great place to start for any interested takers. Artistry and beauty set to rock and roll. IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE, GO SEE AL LIVE!

5 out of 5 stars Escovedo is amazing!!!!.......2000-09-26

This cd is very very good and showcases Alejandro's great songwriting abilities combined with "from the soul" lyrics. It defies being lumped into any one style of music; it rocks, it twangs a bit, its folksy and earthy too - but most of all it's honest. If you like this cd you MUST hear Alejandro's "Thirteen Years" cd. One of the most beautifully crafted album ever. This is a singer/songwriter that is greatly under-appreciated.

4 out of 5 stars Thoughtful play loud drink whiskey with lights low.......1999-08-11

A varied and interesting program, although "Crooked Frame" is a better song to play when you're pissed off at 2am than "Pissed Off 2am." A songwriter who doesn't get cute for the sake of cuteness or lean heavily on the ever-growing choss pile that is alt-country-Austin cliche, Escovedo knows what he's doing. What I play when I'm driving across Wyoming.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great CD.......1999-07-24

This CD defies classification. It is quite simply one of the best CDs' released in 1996. It has a nice blend of rockers and ballads. For a disk with no hits it feels as if every song should have been a hit or received some radio play. I am not a white suburban wannabe ganster, so in an era of loud thumping beats and abraisive lyrics it was a nice surprise to find a CD that had songs I could relate to. I had never heard of Alejandro Escovedo before this disk, I thought the cover was interesting so I bought it, now I look for his music whenever I go shopping. This disk will definately appeal to adults, and with a couple of listenings could be well received by the youth market.

5 out of 5 stars Randy Weston in my childhood.......2001-05-21

I First listened to Randy Weston and Cevil Payne in 1958. I was 9 years old, but the music caught me at once. Many years later I met Cecil Payne in Copenhagen. At that time he didn't even remember the record. Well the music is very much apealing to your mental health. Be sad and fond of life at the same time. A record which will survive.

3 out of 5 stars A century of British art songs to delight those who love them.......2006-06-26

These 53 songs have been collected by Naxos from their extensive acquisitions from Collins Classics, and perhaps other British sources now out of business. There's a steady cottage industry, year after year, producing the typical English art song, which is usually based on folk songs, but even in more modern idioms is profuondly conservative and nostaligic. Half these songs, not to mention half the composers, are totally unknown to American audiences, but the familiar names of Vaughan Williams and Britten represent high quality, and the lesser lights, such as Warlock and Quilter, are mainstays in this repertoire.

I'd challenge all but the most addicted listener to make it through more than ten songs at a sitting, and many of these pieces are tepid, offering comfort rather than inspiration. The singers are among the best, but Graham Johnson and Steuart Beford, who do most of the accompaniments, are lackluster. I know that won't be a popular comment, yet if you compare any of these songs with rendiitons done by Janet Baker, John Shirley-quirk, and most recently Bryn Terfel and Ian Bostridge, you immediately notice how much more intensity and drama is pesent than htis colleciton reveals.

            5 out of 5 stars Start Wiggling!.......2006-01-26

            Got this CD for my 2 year old son and as soon as the music started he was up and "wiggling" in the living room. Fantastic music for little ones to move and play with. I highly recommend getting this CD, soon your child will be "wiggling" along with all the songs.

            5 out of 5 stars Great Gift For Children.......2005-09-15

            I originally bought Playin' Collection which my nephews loved. Unfortunately when the car was serviced at the Jaguar dealer it became missing. I know another child must be enjoying it! So it's been replaced by new cds. These CDs are fantastic for children and parents won't mind listening to them. There are many songs on each CD (what a deal) and the words to the songs are included. The songs are fun and allow children to use their imagination, like when pretending to be on a farm or on a train or playing musical instruments. My nephews are listening to this CD as I write this review. Definitely a great gift for children.

            5 out of 5 stars My children have so much fun!.......2005-08-25

            I am the mother of 18-month twin boys. I love the whole collection of all three wiggles N'Tunes. My kids love the songs that are on them. They try to dance and move their legs and hands in many directions. This was very funny and surprising for us since they have never done this before. Many times one of the cd's in on when they are just playing at home. One of the cd's is always on in the care when we are on a trip!

            5 out of 5 stars Love this CD!!.......2005-07-12

            I am the mother of 2 young boys (3 yrs and almost 1) and this CD is definitely the favorite for both of them. I need to get a 2nd copy because I am constantly moving it from the house to the car since the boys always want to hear it. Its lively, fun, and has so many great songs on it. I highly recommend this for anyone with little ones.
