[Korovjov101]

summer wine vs some bites from road to hell... the song ain't bad, it only lacks originality, somewhat like an amusing cover.

[petmay13]

und für alle deutschen hier: lammbock.

[Gareth7685]

Wow - this is SO cool! Ta for posting

[Porporinablu]

This is flawless. And the french part fits in perfectly. If you dislike it, I think you dislike Calexico worldwide essence.

[antibling]

lol at the bit where he's bobbing his head, looking windswept at 2:00...cheaper than hiring a horse :P

[SansaClegane]

Boss

[JaneRhonda626]

She's spoiling the song with talking

[m0une]

Wow great song...I love Calexico

[marylong17]

Wow... I'm a fan of booth Summer Wine & Balad of Cable Hogue, but I never realized it was actually exactly the same chords & strumming before playing it on guitar... I think that even they've got the same bg, the two song are very differant!

[Rmagheyheyitsok]

HEY HEY IT'S OK !

WE ♥ IT !

[Blacktwister91]

I mean the woman should learn to sing instead of talk...

[Blacktwister91]

VERY NICE Song, (would be awesome without the woman babbling bullshit....)

[marylong17]

@Blacktwister91

Actually the babbling bullshit is just french lyrics... (I'm french speaking, but I agree that I also think it might be better if the french part would be in english)

[Blacktwister91]

@marylong17 yeah sorry, but I don't think it matches into the song (and I don't understand 99% what she's talking ^^)

[TheRoOxyi]

@MsPsychophil yeah is red blooms but im little confusing with the song confused with skid row one song of these guys and calexico red blooms

[TheRoOxyi]

@MsPsychophil already know the song is red blooms but thanks you

[TheRoOxyi]

someone know who its called a song of calexico that have a voice of a women and is the most beautiful song of these guys ????????????????

[kleofaz]

I love this tune...totaly diffrent to the mainstream,special...5 Stars!

[mariotimagalhaes]

This one goes with me to heaven...

[musegirlgreece]

that song smashed my soul!

[mahastu]

Best song ever. Calexico, you are amazing!

[staxkid]

im a fan of creedence for me calexico is the new creedence

[GodHammer]

Loved it, thanks for sharing, mate :)

[siegfy]

@GodHammer my pleasure :-)

[494main]

What a great song...I wonder what he uses for his Tremolo sound

[SurferRedneck]

@494main Watch again and you'll see he's using his tremolo arm ("whammy bar") and tuning pegs for effect. There's also some reverb in there.

[livingbackwards000]

love this song so much...

[CowboyMidnight]

My favourite band

[iokalas]

Secret Perfection ! Undercover Pathos ! Lifemeaning labyrinth.

[okazalygrzyb185]

[tommason1984]

Reeally like this track, flows so well

[harvey1954]

[MODELKR]

[i0annita]

whats the name of the woman singing in french?

[sternumagnum]

@i0annita She's Françoiz Breut, a French singer (yes, she spells it like this)...

[i0annita]

@sternumagnum thank you :-)

[MrsNemonina]

@sternumagnum it' not francois, its marianne dissard. but joey made a beautiful duet with francois breut on one of her records: it's called "over all" - it's damn sexy.

[i0annita]

i luv it!

[DIYrecordings]

[Lapsanglover]

Absolutely!!! And great!

[kedarallah]

Can someone tell me, why the USA band has something like intro on album "Spoke" - song "mind the gap" from Czech subway station sound?

[dkgazinya]

Several of their band members are from Europe

[RedRainbowItaly]

Great song, pure class....

[lali35728]

Oh my god...this sound...I've gotta see this movie. When I hear Calexico I just travel to Sonoran desert and feel the sun in my neck and face, the hot air...it's just amazing.

Greatings from Argentina!

[etresanchez]

Great movie, Sam Peckinpah is one of the best western movies directors!

Greetings from Madrid!

[FundedByTheMob]

truest comment of the year

[Humbucker2]

The sound of the guitar is absolutely phantastic.

I think,it is a danelectro guitar

greatings from germany

Buck

[siegfy]

listen ,son.

if you don't like ,just leave it,alright ?

[crimson1986]

easy mate, it`s a nice song, but he`s got a point when he says it echo`s summer wine.

[siegfy]

dude, he commented that their song is trash on other calexico's single. just a non-sense hater.

[crimson1986]

don`t know about that, i only know this song reminds me of summer wine as well.

[ruichicau78]

It sounds similar because both mexican stile songs, which are based on spanish songs, which are based in a certain typical choice of chords, like the fado here in Portugal. It's the nature of that tipe of songs and it's not bad. like the opera all sounds very similar.

[pektor72]

Hope to ear that great song at their show in Israel at Augost.

Viva Calexico! Viva Peckinpah!

[Lizz360]

does anyone know how I can sound like that, like what amp settings, scales, guitars, amps, etc...

[MonroeOgden]

Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com gf

[Xaxannoul4]

[leveelevee]

its an eastwood airline guitar. great guitars.

[sagoig]

Este es uno de los mejores grupos del mundo, o son cosas mias?

[jltardiff]

What make of guitar is Joey playing?

[TheModestMouser]

Man this song would be better if the girl would make an effort to get the notes right. Don't get me wrong, I love Calexico and this song is AMAZING but it'd be better the girl would sing rather than just talk.

[KindDesUniversums012]

best song from the movie "lammbock"

[andrearot]

abbastanza fighi.. :)

li conosci i black rebel motorcycle club? non centrano un cazzo con loro mi sa, pero' secondo me ti piacciono. cercali su youtube.

[gaba0380]

non li conosco e metto subito il mulo al lavoro! grazie per il consiglio, ascolterò bene

[andrearot]

fammi sapere che ne pensi, poi.. ;)

[gaba0380]

spero di ritrovare sto video perchè è facile che non mi confonda con qualcos'altro poi. ma è possibile farsi "amici"? lo fanno tutti i siti oramai...

[andrearot]

ovvio che si puo'! ora ti mando un messaggio per "amicizizzarci". :)

controlla la tua casella di posta di youtube!

[nafphgesa]

i love it

[schnegglii]

cooool................

[liftmedown001]

it could be the soundtrack for a movie by Tarantino.. cool song

[Robuer]

That sounds quite similar to Nancy Sinatra's and Lee Hazlewood's "Summer Wine" from 1967 :/

Nice try...

[apfeltasche4life]

do you think so? hm...don't know a bit maybe, but not really

[everton1941]

John Convertino and Peckinpah, fuck yes!!!

[sonofsilence]

cool song. WHich album is this from. Is it a cover? john Cale has a song of the same title.

[piratasdecordoba]

It´s from "Hot Rail", released on May 9, 2000

[alhexei15]

very good drums song =]

[knochenjack]

lammbock :)

[STEPHENBIGBUTTN]

the drummer has a cool sound

[vitorcui]

i love the tremolo on this one

[elmundoenunsegundo]

Pero qué buenos son estos tíos!!!

[lofgy]

i love THEIR music

Oh YES KID

but i think that the most of their vids

can´t hold with it. Can´t express the feeling

like my fantasy does - when they sound is in the air

i think its ok this way -

Because this guys can play. And the rest is piece for ears. Maybe yaers

[ATPFestival]

Calexico play London's Forum 11th October with Bodies Of Water and Get Well Soon

[pektor72]

Beautiful gesture to Sam Peckinpah's classic western. Great song, great band! Tanks from Israel.

[LibelluleOpalescente]

cette chanson est franchement géniale.

et le léger accent français, un délice.

[Gate4Madness]

her love would be the death of mine.

salout honey

[monster4josh]

I don't think these guys eat eggs and bacon for breakfast; they don't look anything like me! Still, I love this song!

[LittleSkaQueen]

lammbock rulez

[wavygravy7]

this song is great!

[darky1978]

nice!thanks for posting it

[TennesseeToddy]

Love it!

[aris9219]

very good!!!!!!!!

[MustangArtieGT]

Luv the way they put this together>>simply awesome

[OcarniaOfTime]

AWESOME song as a whole, but the lady speaking in French doesn't really sound like a natural speaker. She needs to soften her accent. It's pretty harsh. But still, better than my French accent. :D

[Minusred]

Yeah... gotta cut her a break, though. It's hard singing in another language, particularly when another guy is belting it out in English at the same time.

[HisboiLRoi]

The singer, Marianne Dissard, was born in France and French is her first language. She has been based in Tucson since at least the early 90's.

[panchovl]

the best ballad ever

[zoeimusic]

One of my favorite videos all time!

[mformeaningless]

same here!

[margharita22]

yes there were in heraklion and i was there but i did not see them ....

:(

[nautaki]

damn, why did they have to play there after I graduated? :-(

[hoppermusic]

Great song,great video

[Montag80]

This is Mexico.

[xchino1909x]

cinematic

[BillyRocker4]

I saw them 2 years ago,here in Heraclion of Crete,and they were very good!!!

[Legitwolfpack]

where did they get the name from?because my hometown is Calexico

[piratasdecordoba]

Look at Wikipedia: "The band is named for the border town of Calexico, California."

I even think they chose the name to point to their US/Mexican influences and sounds.

[elmazi]

bravoooo!!!, bravoooo!!! from México

[msdessau]

What a great song!!! It s a soundtrack of the german movie "Lammbock". Moritz und Lucas ihr seit die größten.

[Bigapple111]

Which is actually 1:50

[Bigapple111]

Killer trumpets at 3:26 :)  *dreams away*

[sacramedia]

auto to tragoudaki einai toooooso xaritwmeno!!!!!!!

[LudmillaLungenzug]

[DIMAK03]

amazing song from an amazing band! thanks for uploading

[tioguitare]

Really great! Que viva Calexico!

[Zerberus19]

Don´t know if anyone ist still interested in the French lyrics. Nevertheless here´s the translation (in parenthesis):

(Love is passed and love is obsolete

Some spend their whole lives searching for a heart of gold

I'm tired of treading water in this desert mystique

I'm cashing in my chips before I ride.)

...take this gold an hide.

(don't twist too hard darlin' on your hangin' rope)

Don´t worry....

.. as she fired that gun at me

(it's getting late and I'm running out of time)

[siegfy]

wow, thank you for ur effort in translation.

[ninapersson5]

Both professional and cool. I adore their music as well as those regions there in arizona, mexico...cant wait to see them again in greece! Luv u guys!!!

[adrenachrome1964]

My ipod is stuffed full with Calexico,great for train journeys.A 'real' band with feeling,one of the best.

[simsim48]

[siegfy]
