Castanets [mp3]
This track comes from the compilation No One Got Hurt: Bloodshot's 15th Anniversary @ The Hideout Block Party.
"Escovedo pays further homage to Bloodshot’s proud heritage with his signature tune, 'Castanets,' mentioning he always dedicates it to Joe Strummer (punk’s patron saint), 'but tonight it’ll go out to Joe Strummer and all the people of Chicago.' Because of Bloodshot, it, and he, went a lot farther than that – which he notes with a sweet dedication to his next song, 'I was Drunk.' 'At a time when I couldn’t buy a break, they gave me one,' Escovedo says. They gave roots music fans everyone one, actually, making records for love and trusting quality would win the day." -American Songwriter
