Escovedo charts, Dyer hearts ICM
He’s always been a critic’s darling, but Alejandro Escovedo is starting to find favor with those who have to pay for their albums. His ninth album “Real Animal” is his first to make the Billboard album sales chart, coming in at #122, with sales of 6,178. Appearances on the Conan O’Brien and Today shows undoubtedly helped.
Meanwhile, brown-eyed soul man Dan Dyer has signed with the powerful ICM booking agency. His self-titled album, named one of the top ten local releases of the year in the June 12 XL, will be released nationally Aug. 26. Dyer plays most Tuesday nights at the Continental Club ((July 8, 22, and 29) and Wednesday at Momo’s (July 2, 9, 23, and 30).
