I'm not sure that commenting at this juncture is even worth the effort...but, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) makes some of the most lyrically challenging music around these days. My criticism of his early output boiled down to "get a proper band that can do the music justice." He did with Calexico, IMHO, a band that could make almost anyone sound very, very good. In this instance the (rather short) album is sublime. I think Beam needed a couple of very sympathetic guys like Burns and Convertino at this juncture in his career, and they made him soar. |

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Mar 24, 2010 - 08:53 What a great meeting of disparate minds! A wonderful collaboration exactly in the way that Mick Jagger and David Bowie weren't. |

| nate917 (2,815 miles from home) | Posted: Jan 20, 2010 - 08:44 The vocals at times remind me of Dan Fogelberg around 1977. |
| Dancing_banana (Philadelphia, PA) | Posted: Sep 16, 2009 - 12:24 love iron & wine love calexico love this song! |
| canadapaul | Posted: Aug 16, 2009 - 00:26 the sum is less than the parts; this sounds like old George Harrison solo stuff, but not as good |
| Grumm (Alabama) | Posted: Jul 15, 2009 - 09:18 Love this ep! What a great combination |

| Exene (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Feb 05, 2009 - 11:37 I don't care, say what you will - this song just makes me happy. Reminds me of Vic Chesnutt's Until the Led, another great song. I guess the horns got me. |
| amoreena (west whatnot) | Posted: Feb 05, 2009 - 11:36 How can you not do the sultry booty shake to this? |
| QueenLucia (On the edge and ready to jump) | Posted: Feb 05, 2009 - 11:36 Love Calexico. Iron & Wine gives me the Icks. It is definately not a good combination. |
| denmom (Connecticut) | Posted: Feb 05, 2009 - 11:36 ADORE the horns; especially that honkin' bari sax! |
| BoneRoller (Western North America) | Posted: Feb 05, 2009 - 11:35 I like the music, especially the subtle lap steel guitar back in the mix but the vocals don't work for me PS: Love the album's artwork |
| Shimmer (Bethesda, MD) | Posted: Jan 04, 2009 - 20:09 Love Iron and Wine. Calexico leaves me cold. The combo doesn't work. |

Although she played to not listen But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else Ever could offer the same Some say she knowingly tasts like a recipe Although so foolish and willing I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to Bow as the curtain goes down Coddle some men, theyll remember you bitterly F**k em, theyll come back for more I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me Then came a knock at the door I came for my woman, he came with a razor blade Bound like us all for the ocean I hope that shes happy Im blamed for the death of A man who would take her from me Some they saw in me innocent poetry Some, some say theyll never be certain But still its been written, a history of lovers Given and taken in ink Coddle some men, theyll remember you fittingly Cut em, theyll come back for more I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me Then came the knock at the door Louise came to rescue me, missing the irony Blood made her heart change its beating I hope that shes happy Im blamed for the death of The man she found better than me |
| milchschnitte (Hamburg, Germany) | Posted: Nov 22, 2007 - 04:06 i give it a "0". this sucks. this kind of music makes my feet sleep. |

Reminds me of Belle & Sebastian in that way. Oh, and musically, too. |
| meydele (Par la mer) | Posted: Jul 19, 2007 - 11:40 One of my favorite I&W songs ever. |
| kevingile (Denver, CO) | Posted: Mar 12, 2007 - 22:30 This has been an exteremely pleasant 20 minutes or so. Incredible Les McCann & Eddie Harris? Unstopable. |
| federico (Padova, Italy) | Posted: Feb 25, 2007 - 06:25 sounds very Jimmy Buffetish, doesn't it? |

| WonderLizard (2,755.46 mi. due east of Paradise) | Posted: Aug 03, 2006 - 18:05 I was just walking upstairs--from watching the Tribe and Bosox on ESPN2--playing this one in my head, and what do you know...I love Radio Paradise. I also love this album.  |
| pianocomposer (Springfield) | Posted: Aug 03, 2006 - 18:05 There are a number of negative comments here, and yet the song has easily met the "threshold" number of 7, indicating an excellent and well-accepted song. I gave it a 9 and have it on my Ipod 4ever. Good stuff. Stop being so negavitely vocal, you minority I&W&Calexico peeps. |

vive la diference I agree. But i hear them more than once a day, which drives me nuts. |

| Cyclehawk (Athens GA) | Posted: Mar 29, 2006 - 12:53 Always liked Calexico and this is a great tune, but the rest of the album is sort of a yawner. |
| jeffersonpump | Posted: Mar 29, 2006 - 12:52 OK, this clearly is not Buck Owens either. |

Yup. I was just about to post that this song sounds sort of like the Travelin' Wilburys when I scrolled down and saw your post. |

That's funny, I would have never heard of Calexico if it hadn't been for KGSR in Austin. You live in a great city, Grego, don't give up on radio yet. I'll take Austin's radio choices (and night life) over Columbus' any day. |
