A brief but wonderful document of this formidably eclectic band from Tucson, Arizona, the Road Map album was a limited recording released in 1999 for sale only at Calexico’s live shows. I love Calexico’s music particularly because, like the desert landscapes that so vividly evokes, it crosses all the borders it finds on its way, speaking directly to the heart, or «the glowing heart of the world», to quote the title of one of the truly inspired instrumentals and improvisations that make up this album. An essential listen - courtesy of my friend Noel, with whom I shared the pleasure to listen to this music while driving across the Utah and Arizona deserts.

Thanks! This is the Calexico I like, their later albums are alas more and more "ordinary".
