^Glad you've picked up on them CH. I haven’t got to this album yet - tried to listen to the other day but only managed a couple of tracks before being interrupted and losing focus. It sounded as though it would be more mainstream than some of their other stuff, but from what you are saying, that might just be the first couple of tracks. I've been listening to Calexico since who knows when – try Carried to Dust andThe Black Light – both very good, IMHO - some of the later ones are a bit hit and miss. They have a great ethos - come across as sincere, nice human beings, and I like their Tex-Mex sounds, not to mention their thinking person’s lyrics. Someone coined the phrase ‘desert noir’ which works for me! I’ve rambled on about them here and there on the forum.
At the risk of hi-jacking your thread – this track is from The Black Light – performed here with Greek band Takim. Fantastic instruments … love it!
