REVIEW:
"New York City graft Steven Alvarado has made-up an all-star cast of musicians, including Richard Barone of The Bongos, to execute with him on his up-to-the-minute album The Howl Sessions (Mott Street). The ten attention-getting pop songs, buoyed by Alvarado's smoky vocals, emanate audible and irresistible warmth. Whether he's referencing both Allen Ginsberg and John Lennon in "Howl" or observing the decline of those around him as in "Morphillia (A Girl I Knew)" and "Mad At The World" or celebrating queer love in "Wildflowers" or telling someone off as in both "Tea & Sympathy" and "Wish You Were Here (Postcards From Hell)," Alvarado does it with style."

ALBUM INFO:
The long-awaited Steven Alvarado CD The Howl Sessions is now available. Laced with Alvarado's jangley acoustic guitar, well-worn voice and pithy lyrics, the album offers a stripped-down production and a first-rate band.

The CD features Rob Burger, (Tin Hat Trio, Rufus Wainwright, Norah Jones) on an assortment of vintage organs, Joe Quigley, (Shawn Colvin, Lisa Loeb, The Drakes) on bass, Mike Presta, (Chip Taylor, Rosanne Cash, Counting Crows, Melissa Etheridge) on drums, Richard Barone, (The Bongo's, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Tony Visconti) on Bongo's, Kyle Fischer, (Rainer Maria) aditional bass, Al Houghton, (Life In A Blender, They Might Be Giants, Penny Arcade) on electric guitar, and Mike Crehore, (Evan Lurie, Will Lee, Phoebe Snow, Patty Austin) also on electric guitar.
