The Sound of Young America: Calexico’s Joey Burns

Episode notes

Joey Burns is the lead singer of Calexico, a Tucson, Arizona based band that blends a Southwestern, USA sound with a traditional Mexican feel, all the while retaining their indie credibility. They have collaborated many times with Sam Beam of Iron and Wine and were featured on the soundtrack for the Bob Dylan bio-pic, “I’m Not There.” Their newest release is “Carried to Dust.”
