Music reviews of By the Hand of the Father
Music Review: What's up, Papa?
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful collection reflecting the journey of various fathers who have passed through the experiences of the immigrant in this century. Highlighting a wide array of musical styles, the music reflects the sentiments of the stories being told. From the perspective of budding romance amidst war to the remonstrations from children to their father in later life, the disc shows the power of story to affect us. The telling of these family secrets allows a glimpse into the joys, difficulties and regrets of the members of the family. It's not always easy to experience, but the music is so rich that it is worth the trip. Plus, we may all learn from the mistakes of the father, learn to forgive him, and save ourselves from making the same mistakes. I, as a father and as a son, appreciate this. Taken as a whole, it is a love story that sounds great, too. Very inspiring. Felicidades, Alejandro y a todo y saludos a las familias!!!!!!!! I can't wait until you artists take this forum to other literature and music. There are plenty of stories out there!!

Description of By the Hand of the Father
By The Hand Of The Father by Alejandro EscovedoThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Not exactly Alejandro Escovedo's latest album, this is a partial documentation of a project he's been involved with for the past three years, an exploration of the dynamics of Mexican-American family life in words, music, and pictures. As a stage work, By the Hand of the Father has been performed all over North America to great acclaim, and from the evidence here, a lot of that has to be due to the music, some of which Escovedo fans will recognize from previous albums ("Wave," "Ballad of the Sun and the Moon," "With These Hands"). In addition to some new material, there are also a couple of more traditional Mexican songs ("Mexico Americano," "Cancion Mixteca"), and guest vocalists include Ruben Ramos, Cesar Rosas (Los Lobos), and Rosie Flores. The spoken bits link the songs, and the whole thing should definitely whet your appetite to see the full show. This is not background music. --Ed Ward
