Alejandro Escovedo & guests played City Winery – pics, videos and a new MP3

Alejandro Escovedo played two nights at City Winery with Bobby Bare Jr. opening. Special guests on the first night (6/29) included Mott the Hoople’s Ian Hunter, who joined Alejandro for a verse-trading encore of Mott’s “I Wish I Was Your Mother.” The second night (6/30) Alejandro’s producer Tony Visconti sat in with the band for songs that included a cover of the Bowie-penned Mott the Hoople song “All the Young Dudes.” Singer Tift Merritt was there too; videos of those songs are below.

Alejandro Escovedo plays again at City Winery on Friday (tickets still available), and he’s at Vintage Vinyl tonight (7/1) in Jersey. More info and all tour dates are here.

Grab “Silver Cloud,” the hard-rocking second track from his new record, Street Songs of Love.  More pictures and videos are below, click on the link:
