"This is not only the finest album of Alejandro's career, for me, it's the album of the year. And I'll stand on Bruce Springsteen's coffee table in Steve Earle's cowboy boots and say that."-Dave Marsh.

'Real Animal', is Alejandro Escovedo's ninth solo album and follow-up to 2006's critically-acclaimed 'The Boxing Mirror'. Produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex, Thin Lizzy), 'Real Animal' is a collective journey through Escovedo's various musical incarnations from punk rock to string quintets, and is as introspective as it is retrospective.
Recalling the people, places, and influences that helped shape his career, 'Real Animal' represents the primitive aspect of Escovedo's music - the instinct, the urgency, the survivor mentality that fueled his passion.
