Alejandro Escovedo and Chuck Prophet discuss the importance and purity of demos

Alejandro Escovedo just posted this video on Facebook. He and Chuck Prophet discuss the importance and purity of demos, an Austin icestorm, and the thrill of writing a new song (plus the video weaves in a running joke about a former manager who always expected a little more from them).

Some of the take away quotes from the video are:

    “There is always something about the demos that are better.” — Prophet
    “And we ended up going to France and spending five days trapped…” — Escovedo
    “They put us in a little cottage.” — Prophet
    “The demos are my favorite recordings of the songs really.” — Escovedo
    “They’ll never be that pure again.” — Prophet
