JOHN HARRELSON-- "MOJAVE" WHAT BETTER ENDORSEMENT? AN E-MAIL EXCHANGE WITH ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO E-MAIL EXCHANGE-- 3/4/08 ======================================== Mar 4, 2008 7:52 AM Subject: RE: Yes and Thank you John, Thank you for getting back to me.I saw you and your band play a couple times, once at UCI [May 1rst, '69 w/Led Zepplin] and at the San Andreas Boogie? [Actually the Palm Strings Pop Festival, April 1rst, '69] The experience has never worn thin on my consciousness. Your recent album sounds down and dirty in the best of ways. Are there any film clips of Hard Luck Boy? Good Luck on all your endeavors and i hope this communique finds you healthy and smiling. Alejandro Escovedo *****@***.com ----------------- Original Message ----------------- From: John-- JWfH Date: Mar 4, 2008 1:34 AM Indeed, I was the vocalist for Hard Luck Boy-- Send me your e-mail address and I'll forward you some stuff-- Thank you for the enthusiasm-- I looked at your page and hope to hear from you-- Where? When? Etc. -- JH WHAT DO YOU NEED? This recording reflects living. From the isolation suggested in the title track to through the true love expressed in "Gone Tomorrow" or the nasty lust of "Cheatin' On Jesus"--this CD is about living. Harrelson assembled a group of songs that summon "Beggar's Banquet" and "Let It Bleed" on one hand and "Honky Tonk Masquerade" and "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road," too. John Harrelson is a Bluesman first. This CD, though, is not any kind of traditional Blues. You can hear Mississippi and Chicago inside of "Pony Run" and "Honky Tonk Moon" but there's a lot of the California desert here, too. Dry and isolated. And two slices of the Louisiana bayou. Both are celebrations of that "Cajun thang." Some Hillbilly revenge and some straight-talk that so many yearn to hear. Jeff Ross [Rank & File, Hellecasters, Desert Rose Band, William Clarke] serves up some of his fantastic guitar playing. The Moultrie Sisters and some of the Sugar Mountain Mama Serenade add backing vocals. And Harrelson brings true stories to you. This is the third in a trilogy of CDs that are currently avilable from Harrelson. "Streets of Heart and Lust" and "Feral Angel" are here at CDBaby also. [www.johnharrelson.com ]
