NPR is exclusively premiering Alejandro Escovedo's "magnificent" rendition of "Sabor A Mi," his first recording in Spanish, today on Alt.Latino:
http://n.pr/IxxHzTWritten by the late Mexican composer Alvaro Carrillo in 1959, the dreamy, romantic song's title translates as "Be True To Me" and closes out Escovedo's otherwise highly-charged new album, 'Big Station' (6/5, Concord), which brims with spirit of punk and 60's FM radio that inspired him growing up. He'll celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend with a special performance at The Greek in LA with Los Lobos, Neko Case, and others. Check out full spring tour dates here:
