Song(s) Of The Day: Nov. 16, 2018
In March of 2009, Alejandro Escovedo brought his Acoustic Trio to the Gild Hall and put on a transcendent show. The band entered through the gates of ‘Castle Adamant’, which was onstage for the upcoming Gilbert & Sullivan production. His encore was 20 minutes spent strolling and playing throughout the audience of the sold-out show. He did both of these songs that night. The first one features Susan Voelz and David Pulkingham, who both performed with Alejandro at the Hall:
This one is perhaps the finest song to tackle the twin topics of Buddhism and…taxidermy.
I was there. He also did this cover of Mott the Hoople (the video is from later the same month):

So glad you found that. It was one of the highlights of his set.
I thought so too. I mean, who else covers Mott the Hoople?
