Review

More often than not, strings have often served as a wet blanket in rock & roll, smothering the rough edges and dampening the enthusiasm. There have been exceptions, though, when a small string section has been used sympathetically on rock & roll songs, sprucing up the rhythms and sharpening the tensions. Perhaps the best examples are the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," Van Morrison's "Cypress Avenue," Lou Reed's "Street Hassle," and Chic's "Good Times." Alejandro Escovedo's brilliant Thirteen Years is a landmark addition to the latter tradition. Unlike Elvis Costello's "Juliet Letters," which used a string quartet without a rock & roll rhythm section, Thirteen Years marries the dense, sustaining harmonies of the one to the implacable momentum of the other. --Geoffrey Himes
