Alejandro Escovedo has long been a cornerstone of American roots rock, drawing from an eclectic range of influences that span the Velvet Underground to the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, and his deep roots in punk and country through bands like Rank and File and the True Believers. A Man Under The Influence (Deluxe Bourbonitis Edition), released on Bloodshot Records, showcases an artist at the height of his powers — exorcising personal demons through a masterful blend of haunting string arrangements, hard-driving rock, and emotionally raw songwriting.
This 15th Anniversary edition brings together the full remastered A Man Under The Influence album — previously unavailable on vinyl in the U.S. — alongside tracks from the Bourbonitis Blues sessions and rare compilation cuts from his celebrated run on Bloodshot Records. Highlights include standout tracks like "I Was Drunk," widely regarded as one of the finest songs Escovedo has ever written, alongside the driving energy of "Guilty" and "Everybody Loves Me," making this an essential collection for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
