Review: Calexico
¤ Artist: Calexico
¤ Album: Algiers
¤ Release: September 10th
¤ Judge says: 5/7 Kentuckyseven’s

I´ve always been hooked on Calexico. Their dusty stuff mixed with a bottle of caramba. A lonely guitar in love with the mariachi, a folk-country band who never holds their corner. Desert noir.
Algiers, the sixth album from Joey Burns´ and John Convertino´s band, is recorded in New Orleans. The town made the album, a rebirth for these mavericks. I like the way Calexico makes an effort, stretches out and write pretty spectacular songs.
It´s easy listening for the wicked.
