Better And Better: Calexico

Wed, October 10 2012 3:26pm - Source: ClashMusic.com

Joey Burns of Calexico is talking to me on the phone from a busy London street after his band played a small gig in Rough Trade Record Shop. "I know that we're kind of under the umbrella of Americana over here, and even in the States, but those bands that I like under that category like Will Oldham or Bill Callahan really challenge that identity and themselves as well as the kind of people that like Johnny Cash. You need that edge and that element of chaos."
