Gravity, Alejandro Escovedo's 1992 debut album, arrived after a long apprenticeship: he had come up in the Nuns, part of San Francisco's first punk wave, moved to New York in 1978 to play in Judy Nylon's band, and then settled in Austin, Texas, where he turned toward roots music. Stephen Bruton produced, and the record lands squarely in alternative country, though it carries more weight than the tag suggests.
Trouser Press heard a grown man nursing a broken heart and a spiritual streak, singing in a full, ringing voice over an electric folk sound built to carry his self-punishing poetry. "Bury Me" is the song that has found its way onto the countdowns, and Thirteen Years followed.
