I agree that Alejandro Escovedo (and all of the bands he's played with) have flown well below the radar. I guess he had his 15 minutes when Springsteen jumped on his bandwagon, but there's no question we're not talking household name here.
OTOH, I also think that the music has (pretty) consistently been great and, often, astonishing. He's one of those rare beasts with both a right brain rocker gift and a left brain songwriter gift. I'd put his career output up against anyone listed here, but that is certainly reflective of my personal taste.
