CD ReviewsFeast of Sounds J. Cox | Kansas City, MO USA | 05/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a folk album and Calexico isn't afraid to do something different. The album has a very southwestern feel and even goes south of the border on several songs. I am not an instrument expert, but I do know there are some instruments in here that I only hear in Sergio Leone films. With such an array of instruments... Joey Burns vocals are almost ignored. But it is his voice that really lifts this album from being an experimental effort to a darn-close masterpiece. A few instrumentals throughout the album might slow some listeners down. But it won't stop most from enjoying this album. Quattro (World Drifts In) is probably my favorite track and is classic Calexico with a several horns for good measure. Close Behind plays like a folk song with visions of Love's Forever Changes (1967). And that album seems to be a great influence on Feast of Wire. The great thing is that Calexico really invents their own style and sound. They may resemble something else, but Feast of Wire is still their own. Above or below Garden Ruin, this album is one of Calexico's best. " Calexico plays true Boris Glebov | Tucson, AZ | 11/13/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I can talk about this song or that, or how Calexico has a distinctive and beautiful sound, and all that. Here's how I know this album is good. After I got it, I played it for an entire week to the exclusion of pretty much everything else. It gets under your skin it's so good. It changes pace and style from song to song, so you don't get bored, and songs don't all convolve together into just one indistinguishable pile of music. It'll keep in your mind even after you turn it off, and you'll look forward to getting back home so you can listen to it again. And then, you should go to el Guero Canelo and get the best Sonoroan hotdog ever." Super collection of newer songs. samuel clemmons | Chicago, IL | 11/05/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Listening to this comes as easy as a soft afternoon in the shade of maple tree. Each listen reveals more and does not tire. Recommended."
