レビュー (Amazon)
This is essentially two soundtracks in one. The first seven tracks collect seminal R&B, country, and pop tracks from the late 1950s to early 1960s. You simply cannot go wrong with Don Covay & the Goodtimers' "Mercy, Mercy" (once covered by the Rolling Stones, among others) or Johnny Cash's legendary jailbird anthem, "Folsom Prison Blues" (recorded live at Folsom Prison). Or Glen Campbell's countrypolitan cover "Wichita Lineman." Or...you get the idea.
The soundtrack's second part is in many ways even more impressive. Giant Sand's Joey Burns and John Covertino once took advantage of their band's downtime with the side project Calexico. But Calexico has taken on a life of its own, with a recommended recent new release, Hot Rail, and these 16 tracks, which are mostly atmospheric incidental music ("Bliss / Spokes") that sounds like someone carefully walking over creaky floorboards with twangy guitar and occasional Tex-Mex rhythm. Calexico perfectly mirror that dusty, lazing in the hot desert sun, border town sound their name implies. --Rob O'Connor
