Prior to the pandemic, Alejandro Escovedo followed in the deep, boot-heeled steps of Terry Allen and began initiating each year with a troubadour mosh at the Paramount Theatre, delving deeper and deeper into a now 30-year catalog of restless, raging Latin soul divination. During COVID, mankind then prophesied an eventual post-lockdown body of existentialism for all the arts. Austin’s avant-bard restarted his annual bacchanal last January and here upsizes to the Moody Theater with Allen, John Doe, Shakey Graves, Ruthie Foster, Flatlanders Gilmore and Hancock, Will Johnson, David Ramirez, etc., hopefully previewing March’s Echo Dancing, a Suicide-like odyssey through time, space, and Escovedo’s discography.– Raoul Hernandez
