Their debut album, The Pawn Shop Years, was eight years in the making, as they were never overly concerned with making it. Buick is a four-piece garage band-guitarist-vocalist Escovedo, drummer Glenn Benavides, bassist David Fairchild, and guitarist Joe Eddy Hines-that was never intended to be more than a group of friends chasing down Jagermeister and turning up amps. He’s a survivor, a stubborn person who knows what he wants, and if he has irritated people and made a few mistakes, the career that has resulted from his determination is a quiet triumph.Įscovedo’s latest project, Buick MacKane, perfectly illustrates both his music-for-music’s-sake attitude and his bad run on the business end of things.

There have been concessions and sacrifices along the way, plus many grueling months on the road, but for the most part, he has gotten by without compromising his artistic choices. Nevertheless, he has been able to keep on making music for most of his adult life. Like Joe Ely, Steve Earle, or even the internationally famous Willie Nelson, he’s more familiar with the ring of a cult following than with the ringing of cash registers.
In other words, Escovedo is a member of that unique species known as the Texas musician.
And he is universally a critical favorite-with the requisite modest sales figures. He’s been feted as the next big thing and written off as yesterday’s news.
He’s shared the stage with artists as varied as Johnny Rotten and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. He’s sung about teen angst as well as grown-up pain, having experienced plenty of both. Since then, Escovedo, who turned 46 in January, has been in half a dozen bands and recorded for almost as many labels. “That once you were no longer a teenager you couldn’t sing about teen angst.” “We really believed that twenty or twenty-two was too old to rock,” Escovedo says now. His first effort, done with a group of friends in San Francisco, was 1 81ï¿❒, the story of a young punk with more attitude than talent who, on the verge of his nineteenth birthday, was certain the end of teenagehood equaled the end of life itself-or, at the very least, the end of art, rebellion, and rock and roll.
