I saw these guys last night in Saratoga, CA. Opened for Neko CASE, and they came out and jammed with Neko and her band during their set! Calexico were awesome, the crowd were really into them. I am definitely a fan!
they add a nice Latin flavor to this. I like The Damned's version best but this stands up well. In fact, this must just be a great song because I've heard four different versions including the original by Love and they've all been quite good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why is this good and why was it worthy of being a studio cut? it's a straight cover of a love song...pretty typical of a band that's fresh out of ideas
if you don't like it,just say that you don't, no need to say things that aren't true.sometimes the cover of a song has another meaning from the obvious,some songs must be played from new bands just for reminding of the roots of the today's music
This is a Love song. You need to cite that. This song was not written by Calexico and I think it should be noted that this song was written by a band called Love. They do a very faithful version of the song, and I'm sure they would agree that Arthur Lee (of Love) would appreciate the love (no pun intended)
i had only the audio file of their version of "Alone Again Or" of the black genius Arthur Lee. Saw them in 2001 in Italy, one of the best gigs i've ever been to.
Said it's alright
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you used to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear.
