Show Notes

Cofounder of Calexico, Joey Burns and long-time compatriot Sergio Mendoza stopped by for a warm chat about what's going on with this prolific band.  With a unique blend of folk, indie rock, and Americana,  and with great respect to the traditions of Mexico and South America, Calexico has become synonymous with the sound of the desert southwest.  Decades in, they are still blooming with new material.  Their most recent release, recorded in Tucson, AZ at Sergio Mendoza's home studio, continues the tradition, sounding as if it is floating from the windows to the streets of some narrow-walked Mexican town.  We're talking recording, touring and plenty of other savory topics so come on in and give a listen.
