Alejandro Escovedo has confirmed an extensive US tour coinciding with his new album, 'Big Station' (Fantasy/Concord), including a release day performance at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on June 5. Rolling Stone is exclusively premiering "Man of the World," the lead track from the record, today. Check out this punk blast of pure energy, co-written with Chuck Prophet, here:
http://bit.ly/HR8fXF 'Big Station' follows Escovedo's critically lauded 2010 album 'Street Songs of Love,' which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and earned rave reviews from Rolling Stone, The NY Times, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and many more. Earlier this spring, Escovedo took SXSW by storm with a slew of stellar performances including two appearances with Bruce Springsteen. Of Escovedo's legendary live shows, The Washington Post's Joe Heim wrote, "If I could only go to one more concert, I just might choose to go see Escovedo, who combines genius and spirit like almost no one else."
