JeffPJul 9, 20087My first Escovedo album purchase. This is not killer. It is pedestrian rock and roll at best. His voice is interesting as are the lyrics, but honestly aren't these just re-writes of old Sprinsteen and Clapton songs? Produced well enough to rate this score.

BruceN.Oct 4, 200810Best record of the year from beginning to end. Excellent songwriting and sujperb guitar work by Escovedo and David Pulkingham backed by the production wizardry of Tony Visconti. I listened to this recording more than any other I've purchased in recent years.

AdamC.Jun 24, 200810Killer album. Love. Hate. Hard. Soft. Rock can be great and Alejandro proves it. This is right up there with classics from The Replacements, Vigilantes of Love, and GBV.

DSJun 27, 200810This is a great album. It sounds like Southside Johnny, Springsteen, and Joe Strummer.

Real Animal is an album about life--both as survival and as the faces and moments that fill our days on this Earth. How many artists could make two masterpieces in a row that are so different?

For Escovedo fans that have followed the local star through the Nuns, Rank and File, the True Believers, and Buick MacKane, Real Animal bares teeth and soul in rock & roll payback.

80I have seen Escovedo's future, and its sound is rock 'n' roll.
