My love affair with Calexico began with last year’s Carried To Dust and endures still with this Black Cab Session performance of ‘Not Even Stevie Nicks’ from their 2003 release Feast Of Wire. It’s a great concept actually – musicians taking a cab ride around London, performing one of their songs in the back, all stripped down and acoustic like. The songs that is. Not the musicians.
Other Black Cab Sessions include Fleet Foxes, The Felice Brothers, Slow Club, Grizzly Bear, The National, Okkervil River and loads more.

Have you ever seen them live? Amazing. I saw them open for Wilco one time and they blew the headliners away.

Oh god, I wish! They’re currently touring the US and Europe, July through til September. I’ll be keeping my eye out though on the off chance they make it down this way at some stage…
