FestivaLink.net presents Alejandro Escovedo More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-96

These live tracks were recorded from Seattle to Paris, between 1994 and 1996, focusing on Escovedo’s Orchestra manifestation (achingly beautiful cellos bumping elbows with big, meaty guitars). It is an intensely personal collection of songs, and in the live setting, Alejandro Escovedo lays it all on the line. ~Bloodshot Records

"After listening … 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." ~Russell Hall, Wall of Sound

"Most of the songs here have been stripped to the bone, then re-dressed with orchestral flourishes that are alternately beautiful and harrowing." John Floyd, Miami New Times
