What are the best Calexico albums for someone wanting more?! I expect this is one of them?

 

Hot Rail, Feast of Wire and this one. Also the DVD "Live at the Barbican" is awesome.

Lindsey Buckingham was not in Fleetwood Mac until a few year after "Bare Trees" was released.  Interesting connection made in that other post, though.

Marvelous album. Listening to some of the songs, I had a feeling that I knew them for years.

I don't usually comment on stuff I dislike, but... Dull. Formulaic. Soulless.

Agreed, and no attempt to denigrate RP, and you're right, we all have our favorites.  But Calexico has never gotten 1% of the airplay of Foo Fighters, Led Zepp or any other band you can name.  I guess I just like something I can hear on RP that isn't (but they play just about everything) mainstream.

Yeah, give the Foo Fighters & Led Zepp a rest & more Calexico any day of the week...

Give RP some slack already.  They can't keep everyone happy all the time!  Hang in there.....We could do worse, believe it or not.

Really nice transition from Subterranean Homesick Alien.  But, Bill, you really need to get a life. Oh, wait ... this IS your life! :-)
Lucky, mine too, AMAP.

According to Google, Silver Tree can be a resort in Aspen, an apartment complex in Atlanta, a video game company, a film producer from Petaluma, and those cheesy Christmas decorations made from aluminum.

As for trees covered in snow and ice, my skiing buddies and I call those things snow ghosts.

RP introduced me to Calexico and I never looked back... {#Tongue}

Saw them perform live last March at WOMAD in Adelaide, Australia. Yes, I fought my way to the stage and it was well worth it. Quite an intense, spirited performance!!

To the person who thought it was Lindsey Buckingham.
No, it was Danny Kirwan from 1972.
Bare Trees was one of their better albums.

Twin Pines Mall from the movie Back to the Future.
Presumably they would be silverish during the winter. ;)

I was at that show as well....timed our "business trip" to coincide with the Belly Up concert. Always a great band live!

There is this brief moment at the beginning, which always reminds me of Summer in Siam.

Really like these guys but I think the vocals are weak (just a matter of taste)

wow - I never made that connection.  I was a big Lindsey fan and now, a bigger Calexico fan.  They are similar - and quite emotionally believable.

Joey is good on guitar,      but Lindsey . . . . !

Not 365:65 - Best album of 2008: Carried to Dust by Calexico  by hebedesign
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hebe/

I rarely make lists of my favorite this and that. And we've already put 2008 a bit behind us. But while humming and whisteling along to Calexico´s "Carried to Dust" album yesterday I thought "Damn, this was definitely my best musical buy in 2008!"

We also went to a Calexico concert last year, and it was amazing!

I'm hearing a lot of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot" in this, especially the refrain. It's still a great, catchy tune. And there is a lot of Iron and Wine Influence here. Got pick this one up.
