Re: Calexico

I'm sure Love's Arthur Lee approves Calexico's cover Alone Again Or (if 
he's
that kind of guy...).  It's very similar to the original, but just a little
bit of hand-clapping opened a 'genre' door for me...it was 'wow, so that's
what that song is'

With the horns, rhythms, Calexico sounds so traditional, but they can swing
way over into much more abstractness (Spaghetti Westerns meet El Topo?).

Tucson sounds like a great scene!
