Nancy Rankin Escovedo. Alejandro Escovedo is the picture of cool as he walks into Grimey’s record shop in Nashville one bright and sunny weekday afternoon in September. Dressed in a black suit and black cowboy boots with a cravat tucked into his shirt collar, he casts a wary glance around the room where he and his band are about to play an in-store performance. His new LP, The Crossing, which came out in September on Yep Roc Records, is a sprawling concept album about two immigrants. One, named Salvo, is from Italy, and the other, Diego, is from Mexico. Antonio Gramentieri, the singer and guitarist for Don Antonio, already had a deep admiration for Escovedo, who’s 20 years his senior. For my upbringing, people like Los Lobos, which I got into a little before I got into Alejandro, were crucial.

Escovedo wrote these songs in collaboration with Italian rock musician Antonio Gramentiere, with Gramentiere and his band Don Antonio providing the backing, and the partnership proves to be inspired, with the musicians tackling the multiple influences and shifting moods of this music with passion and aplomb. And Escovedo has brought in some impressive guests for these sessions, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, James Williamson of Iggy & the Stooges, Peter Perrett and John Perry of the Only Ones, and Joe Ely (who lends harmonies to a beautiful cover of his song "Silver City").

Alejandro Escovedo (born January 10, 1951, in San Antonio, Texas) is a Mexican-American rock musician, songwriter, and singer, who has been recording and touring since the late 1970s. His primary instrument is the guitar. He has played in various rock genres, including punk rock, roots rock and alternative country, and is most closely associated with the music scene in Austin, Texas. He comes from a well-known family of musicians.

They played more than 30 shows in 45 days, traveling from city to city in a cramped van that somehow fit six musicians and Escovedo’s wife, Nancy. They all became fast friends, and Escovedo fell in love with Don Antonio’s music. They weren’t trying to be American in their sound, he says. They were sticking to their Italian roots. I liked the idea of soundtrack music and atmospheric music and their willingness to improvise. It’s important to write about these things, says Escovedo, reflecting on the issues at the heart of The Crossing. I do it for a lot of reasons, but I do it mostly because I want to leave my children these stories. And I want to let other people know what we’ve been through as a people, as a race, as a culture-and what all of us have been through.
