Alejandro Escovedo has had an eclectic career across a variety of genres, including punk with The Nuns; roots rock with The True Believers; and alt-country with Rank & File. The latter had an underground following in New Zealand in the mid-80s with songs including ‘The Conductor Wore Black‘. In the early ’90s Escovedo eventually launched a solo career, which has seen him work with everyone from John Cale to Bruce Springsteen.
