Amazon.com The perfect soundtrack for a summer roadtrip in an old car across Death Valley. Calexico's musical textures are woven out of a dazzling array of instruments and styles, including mariachi trumpets, countrified pedal steel, Latin jazz percussion, and carnival organ, just to name a few. The songs move at siesta speed, casually looping and loping along, never getting overheated. Bandmates Joey Burns and John Convertino have their hands in so many musical pies--including projects with OP8, Giant Sand, Victoria Williams, Giant Sand, and Richard Buckner--one wonders how they find the time to create the sun-soaked music of Calexico. But thank God they have. --Tod Nelson Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE Review It's a fraught, yet compelling trip: part spaghetti Western part inner soundscape.... "Gypsy's Curse" sets the tone with portentous twanging, while short links like "Where Water Flows" and "Stray" alternate moments of calm with hip-swinging malice.... All told, Calexico may look like a one-horse town we've been to before, but it's still worth a visit. -- NME
