About This Love allmusic: Its all about this love/Its all about this pain/Its all about the loss/We take to live again. Those lines hardly tell you everything there is to know about Alejandro Escovedos songwriting, but hes rarely expressed his key themes with such strength and concision as he does in the first verse of About This Love, and while Escovedos fifth studio album, A Man Under the Influence, doesnt stray far from the musical and lyrical themes that have dominated his previous work, hes rarely (if ever) put the pieces together quite as well as he does here. Escovedos latest lineup of his orchestra -- anchored by Brian Standefer on cello, Eric Heywood on pedal steel, Mike Daly on keyboards and guitar, Hector Munoz on drums, and Cornbread on bass -- sounds like his strongest and best controlled to date, as comfortable with the subtleties of Wave as the full-on rock of Castanets. Quite simply, Escovedo has never sung better than he does on this set, running the emotional spectrum from plaintive longing to swaggering contempt and never sounding less than convincing at any stop along the way. And while Turner Stephen Brutons production on Escovedos first three studio albums was intelligent and intuitive, Chris Stameys work on A Man Under the Influence suits him just as well while sounding clearer, sharper, and better focused; the sound catches the full range of Escovedos personality while adding the sonic details that sometimes got lost on his previous records. And if love and loss still remain Escovedos favorite themes, like Hank Williams or Leonard Cohen he seems to have something new and telling to say about them each time out; each of this albums 11 songs is worth hearing, and the cumulative effect is nothing less than stunning. No one whos heard Escovedos work doubts his status as one of the finest singer/songwriters of his day, and hes never been heard to better advantage on disc than on A Man Under the Influence. http://dickthespic.org/-------------------------------------Torrent downloaded from http://thepiratebay.se
