ABOUT THIS ITEM

Influenced by everything from Portuguese fado, 50s jazz, gypsy music, 60s surf to spaghetti western epics, over the past decade Calexico have been creating an eclectic sound that evokes images of sunscorched rocks and windswept deserts, pulling a few surprises out of their musical bag to fill those dusty, empty landscapes with a big, big sound. This show from Austin City Limits on September 13, 2006 also sees them joined by friend and collaborator Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine (and his sister, Sarah).
