Last to Know -- Alejandro Escovedo
Another incredibly prolific and underappreciated singer/writer. (Maybe people don’t like the Mexicaness of his name?) If you like Los Lobos (as anyone in their right mind should) you have to like him. His voice is very similar to David Hidalgo’s, but for my money he’s an even better songwriter. I read that in 1998, No Depression Magazine (a good Americana-music mag) named him the artist of the decade.
