Description:
Blame a midlife crisis or a fury prompted of any number of dramas in Alejandro Escovedos life, from divorce to a near-fatal bout with Hepatitis C - but at age 57, the veteran Texas roots-rocker has returned for the first time in his long solo career to the aggressive, at-times punk-rock sounds of his earliest band, the Nuns, with a few hints of pioneering alternative-country combos Rank & File and the True Believers thrown in for good measure. -- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times (Back Porch)
