Alejandro Escovedo may not be a household name, but his importance in the world of alternate country cannot be overstated. In the eighties, he spent time in three little known but important bands: The Nuns, Rank & File, and True Believers. He also later played a large role in the recording of Whiskeytown’s Strangers Almanac album, and is a widely respected member of the alt-country community. As a solo artist, fame has eluded Escovedo, but not without trying: since 1992, he has released 14 albums of varying quality and critical acclaim, and not much in the way of sales. With These Hands is his fourth solo effort, and is actually one of his weaker efforts. Not that it’s a bad album…it’s not. But there’s not much to really hang your hat on here, and nothing that will stick with you or leave you humming your favorite track.
The high point here is “Nickel And A Spoon”, a duet with Willie Nelson (who also adds a guitar solo). As with all of his solo work, Escovedo shows his punk, country, and rock and roll roots throughout, but he never reaches the heights that he did with his former bands, nor does he match the promise of his 1992 solo debut album Gravity. Escovedo’s greatest successes have been as a band member rather than as a leader, but his considerable talent is still quite evident here. After the disappointment of With These Hands, Escovedo’s output improved steadily over the years, with this album being a low point. Not because it wasn’t played or sang well, it just lacks the memorable material that would have made it something to remember. For the best of Escovedo, seek out his work with Rank & File or Gravity. This album is average…nothing more, nothing less. [First added to this chart: 01/15/2025]
