Gravity is the début album of Alejandro Escovedo, released in 1992.[3][4] Heinz Geissler and John Kunz were the executive producers.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "In the clarified artistic vision of a mature musician with a broken heart, a spiritual sense of his place in the world and a rich, resonant voice, Escovedo devised an electric folk idiom ... powerfully suited to the poetic hair shirt he donned."[5]
