About More Miles Than Money
Amazon.com More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-96 is the most compelling solo release yet from this Austin roots rock legend, an alumnus of Rank & File, True Believers, and Buick MacKane. On these live recordings, Alejandro Escovedo broods--usually quietly--in front of solemn picking and a weary cello or violin, as is the case during a beautiful version of his best song, "Pissed Off 2 A.M." A couple of times, though, he shows he can still rock out (a wicked "I Wanna Be Your Dog"), and when the electric guitar springs in to steal the show, during the Stones' "Sway," the sudden contrast takes your breath away. --David Cantwell Product Description An intensely personal record from one of Americana's most respected figures, recorded live on the road, Alejandro Escovedo lays it all on the line. "After listening to the album in it's entirety, one comes away with the sense of having listened to a man who would put his life on the line for his art. No matter what he sings about - pain, redemption, or glory - Escovedo conveys a feeling of hard-won optimism and romance." - WALL OF SOUND Review The first part of the record is like lying naked on the bed at a hotel; 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' is the maid opening the door and seeing you there--finally. --Austin American-Statesman After listening to the album in its entirety, one comes away with the sense of having listened to a man who would put his life on the line for his art. No matter what he sings about--pain, redemption, or glory--Escovedo conveys a feeling of hard-won optimism and romance. --Wall of Sound It's a melancholic, often brutal album of hard truths, grim realities, and broken hearts, with performances suited perfectly for the pain and torment of the lyrics and Escovedo's raw, forthright vocals. Most of the songs here have been stripped to the bone, then re-dressed with orchestral flourishes that are alternately beautiful and harrowing. --Miami New Times
