TexiCali, the new album from Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy
nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore, continues to bridge the distance between
the two troubadours' respective home bases of California (Alvin) and
Texas (Gilmore)
The geographic theme refects Alvin's repeated journeys to record in Central
Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the
duo for the past few years. As Alvin puts it in the liner notes, those road trips
informed the music they made on TexiCali. The 11 songs on this double LP also
connect their shared fondness for a broad range of American music forms.
Gilmore is primarily known for left-of-center country music, while Alvin's compass
points largely toward old-school blues. But there's a lot of ground to cover beyond
those foundations, and both artists also are well-known for transcending genre
limitations. So it's not surprising that they've spiked TexiCali with cosmic folk
narratives, deep R&B grooves and even swinging reggae rhythms.
t Tracks: Borderland / Southwest Chief / Broke Down Engine /
Trying To Be Free / Blind Owl / Death Of The Last Stripper / Roll Around / Betty
And Dupree / Why I'm Walking / Down The 285 / We're Still Here
