Singer and songwriter Alejandro Escovedo—a longtime peddler in heartache and despair, and the subject of Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo (Or Music), the great 2004 two-disc tribute album—is no stranger to the spectral nature of existence.
On this intimate Acoustic Guitar Sessions performance, he recounts his past in three songs from throughout his career: “Five Hearts Breaking,” one of the first songs he ever wrote; “Chelsea Hotel 78,” about being at the New York landmark the night Sid Vicious killed girlfriend Nancy Spungen; and “Bottom of the World,” an homage to his adopted hometown Austin, Texas.
