Critic Picks Alejandro For Best SXSW Showcase
Best showcase: Alejandro Escovedo, Continental Club, Sunday. Extraordinarily compelling and rocking musical performance by beloved heir apparent to Doug Sahm’s title as Mayor of Austin. (This man’s got a serious posse of heavyweight friends and hangers-on.) That Escovedo, whose “Real Animal” was one of the stories of the year in 2008, has been dropped by his label tells you all you need to know about the record business.
