Earlier this year Tucson, Arizona’s Calexico impressively released their eighth album Edge Of The Sun via Anti Records. In July the group stopped by the Newport Folk Festival for a seasoned and well refined performance that was every bit as wonderful as I imagined it would be.
It was my first time catching the group, but their sound is one aged like fine wine, ready for new discoveries at every corner. Due to the chaotic nature of the festival setting I was only able to catch a portion of their set, but next chance I get here in New York I’m going to make sure I catch a full set from the guys.
