Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2003

Complex, interesting, fun...
I absolutely love Calexico's version of "Alone Again Or" on the Austin Music Fest CD from 2004, and was more than pleasantly surprised at this CD. The best part about it: it's NEVER boring. Too many CDs (especially Pop music cr*p) sound like they took one song, and ...

The Black Light

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 1998

The Black Light
Awesome, Awesome cd!! If you like slow instrumental music that has a mexican sound you'll adore this. The song Over Your Shoulder is by far my favorite, it was worth the money just for that song. There are some songs that have vocals as well. If you put the cd on it ...

Even My Sure Things Fall Through

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2001

Awesome EP!
An awesome EP from a great Tucson band, which incorporates rock with the sounds of a mariachi band. It produces a very cool and unique sound. This CD features B-sides and remixes. It also includes a few videos! This is a great CD to play when your hanging out with ...

Garden Ruin

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2006

Japanese Imported Version of Calexico's Critically Acclaimed 2006 Album
Calexico represents yet another reason why I think the country/folk music scene in Tucson, AZ remains light years ahead of anything I have heard here in New York City (This Japanese import version of "Garden Ruin" includes two additional songs not included on either ...

Carried to Dust

Calexico

Quarterstick, 2008

Their best yet
Calexico = California + Mexico in case you didn't know. So, what is Calexico? I'd call them a roots group, but the duo of Arizonans Joey Burns and John Convertino has been dubbed folk, pop, and country. Their music has a feel of the West, an authentic blend of the ...

Hot Rail

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2000

is "Cactus Rock" a genre? If so, Calexico's the King
This CD rocks. It opens up with a sweeping, cinematic trumpet that dumps you in the Sonoran Desert where it's 110 degrees and you're thirsty as hell, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and about to go hit the nearest hacienda for some watermelon cooler and tequila. Yeah, ...

Convict Pool

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2004

an ESSENTIAL Calexico ep
not a bunch of throwaway tracks, an essential own... Alone Again Or-cover of 60's band Love, very good, got a vintage brass/folk rock sound, very happy which underlies a darker lyric Convict Pool-understated thundering acoustic song,very emotional sounding Si Tu ...

In the Reins

Iron & Wine, Calexico

Overcoat Recordings, 2005

Beautiful - A Perfect Blend
This album is absolutely beautiful. The full musical sound and talent of Calexico together with the soothing warm vocals of Iron & Wine make the perfect match. It's almost unheard of that I love EVERY song on an album, but this one makes the cut. Each song wraps ...

Spoke

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 1997

Strangely addictive
I have to agree with all of these reviewers, save for the one who didn't like this release. This is a beautiful concoction of thoughtful-western-meets-tearful-traditional-Mexican beauties, worth listening to repeatedly. It doesn't jump out at you, but lures you in ...

Quattro
Calexico

EMI Int'l, 2003

Taken from the 2003 album, 'Feast Of Wire'. The title track (Radio Edit) is backed with two non-LP tracks, 'Praskovia' & 'Pampa'. City Slang.

Descamino

Calexico

Quarter Stick, 2008

IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE!!
Play tracks four through eight sufficiently loud while sitting in the middle of the stereo field and you'll get the picture. Yes, indeed, crappy drum sounds, but that's part of the appeal, in total contravention to present "standard practice". Not a bit of ...
