Bruce Springsteen has participated in the last two albums from Alejandro Escovedo, the Texan singer-songwriter with a nearly-30-year career, and last Friday Bruce made public his admiration and affection for the San Antonio singer once again. Towards the end of Escovedo’s performance at the Stone Pony club in Asbury Park, Bruce made an unnanounced appearance as he took the stage to sing and play guitar on three tracks: «Always a Friend» and «Faith,» both Escovedo tunes, and «Beast of Burden» by The Rolling Stones (a first for Springsteen).
