The best Americana albums of 2015 spoke to our collective nature, furthering the examination of the human condition while adding their own new touches.
Calexico’s 2003 album Feast of Wire hauntingly soundtracks the plight of Central American migrants who arrive at America’s border long before – and well after – the dissolution of Title 42.
Calexico’s El Mirador celebrates the power of community and accentuates the power of togetherness in encouraging political change and discouraging division.
Although most shopping has moved online this year, those of us still going to stores find the retail soundtrack particularly menacing in the time of COVID-19. These 10 albums (plus a little extra stocking stuffer) from unexpected artists offer some respite for at-home listening.
Finally collaborating on a full-length, Calexico and Iron & Wine create an album as rewarding as it is natural with Years to Burn.
If any band understands how to expand their sound without losing the brilliant essence of the band, it's Calexico.
