Editorial Review:

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

- Calexico
I'm a fan of everything Calexico does. At times innovative. At times psychadelia meets sergio leonne. At times just mariachis strumming while you drink a shot of Mezcal at XXX Kentucky Bar in Nogales.

- No CD
Doolicity Sent the CD case, but, no CD was inside. It was shipped empty. Three emails to them has had zero results. I do not recommend this company.

- What we Want!!
When we think of Calexico everyone can be asked what are your expectations? these guys are not going to fill your portable stereo with pop but the groove is more like that of the Jamaican reggae producers. I love this album, it's my 'haunt the room with desert' album and can see now what these guys contributed to Giant Sand.

- very disappointing
This is boring, there is no theme, there are no highs and lows and the cd just aimlessly meanders.

I have seen Calexico on Austin City Limits and one of the late night talk shows (Leno? Letterman? Conan?). They were fascinating both visually and sonically. I have several live downloads and they put on a cool show. I made my own compilation and the disc is awesome.

This cd just does not do it for me. There are no bad songs on it but...there is hardly anything exciting, nothing really knocks my socks off.

This may be one of those bands that need to be experienced live rather than through the studio.

This hardly resembles the totally cool band I saw perform on Austin City Limits
