By the Hand of the Father

Amazon.com
Not exactly Alejandro Escovedo's latest album, this is a partial documentation of a project he's been involved with for the past three years, an exploration of the dynamics of Mexican-American family life in words, music, and pictures. As a stage work, By the Hand of the Father has been performed all over North America to great acclaim, and from the evidence here, a lot of that has to be due to the music, some of which Escovedo fans will recognize from previous albums ("Wave," "Ballad of the Sun and the Moon," "With These Hands"). In addition to some new material, there are also a couple of more traditional Mexican songs ("Mexico Americano," "Cancion Mixteca"), and guest vocalists include Ruben Ramos, Cesar Rosas (Los Lobos), and Rosie Flores. The spoken bits link the songs, and the whole thing should definitely whet your appetite to see the full show. This is not background music. --Ed Ward

Brilliant Work.......2006-11-03

Amazing CD!!! A must have for all About Productions fans. I also highly recommend to those interested or searching for the early experiences of Mexican Americans/Chicanos in the United States. This is not a traditional historical material in the way anthropologist gather information but in my opinion a more important and rare source being a historical piece by way of how families/insiders have access to intimate knowledge.

WOW!.......2005-07-02

I won tickets to this theater performance in Arcata, CA from a local radio station KHUM, and it just happened that my sister was coming up to visit that day. We had no idea what kind of a show we'd be seeing.
Wow!
I had tears in my eyes by the end. Beautiful, passionate, exciting, and profound. I'm buying CDs for both my sister and me.I don't ever want to forget this music.

What's up, Papa?.......2003-04-30

This is a beautiful collection reflecting the journey of various fathers who have passed through the experiences of the immigrant in this century. Highlighting a wide array of musical styles, the music reflects the sentiments of the stories being told. From the perspective of budding romance amidst war to the remonstrations from children to their father in later life, the disc shows the power of story to affect us. The telling of these family secrets allows a glimpse into the joys, difficulties and regrets of the members of the family. It's not always easy to experience, but the music is so rich that it is worth the trip. Plus, we may all learn from the mistakes of the father, learn to forgive him, and save ourselves from making the same mistakes. I, as a father and as a son, appreciate this. Taken as a whole, it is a love story that sounds great, too. Very inspiring. Felicidades, Alejandro y a todo y saludos a las familias!!!!!!!! I can't wait until you artists take this forum to other literature and music. There are plenty of stories out there!!

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Several Nice Melodies Here for those Who Enjoy 19th Century Song.......2006-04-02

The theme of this album is songs of social consciousness, which means that the compiler was looking for historical relevence, rather than overall good tunes. But there are at least two songs here that any fan of the 19th century popular song must have: "The Song of the Red Man," by Henry Clay Work, and "The Hand that Holds the Bread" by Root. Work's piece is simple, but driving and compelling, like all his best songs. The song by Root is just another fine, rousing melody by this exellent pop composer. Performance-wise, the soloists are a mixed bag, but they are sincere, and the chorus is superb throughout.

Customer Reviews:

The other reviews only PARTLY right.......2002-08-14

I agree with both other reviewers re the duo coronet/organ arrangements on SOME of the bands of Disk #2 I have, but McCann plays them very well and the organ is fine if you like the organ (which I don't). BUT, the OTHER BANDS include orchestra and on ALL bands McCann really plays beautifully. However, I will not buy another disk of these because of the duo performance bands and - WHAT A SHAME as ALMOST ALL THE PIECES REALLY ARE AMONG WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL and MANY are very difficult, if not impossible, to find ANY arrangement of (though at least half on each cd readily avail other perfs arrangements).

Misleading CD title!.......2000-12-16

Thought I was purchasing a nice compendium of beautiful songs to listen to on long trips. You'd better love the golden cornet if you buy this CD - or, rather, 5 CDs!

Hope you like the "Golden Cornet" and organ..........2000-03-19

This CD set has all the greatest melodies... only they are performed by some guy and his "golden cornet" (a horn). There is accompaniment by an organ. This set WOULD have been great, IF it was performed by a piano. Huge disappointment. Would have been nice to know what instrument was used to begin with.
