Wait! Come back!
Don't panic - I have only gone semi-classical on you.
I give you Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet with Room of Songs from 2005 a fanclub release on the More Miles than Money label. Recorded at the Cactus Cafe in Austin, Texas on February 28 and March 1, 2005
Featuring two acoustic guitars (Alejandro and David Pulkingham), two cellos (Matt Fish and Brian Standefer) and Susan Votz on violin and backing vocals
As punkviper says on his/her review on Amazon as if the songs in their original format aren't enough to get yer motor runnin', the lush string arrangements here add color & depth to prove that Escovedo's talent runs deep.
Let's face it, where else today are you going to get a strings version of The Gun Club's Sex Beat?
Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet - Everybody Loves Me
Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet - Sex Beat
Nice find, thanks!
