Calico -- Come On Down To Texas (1976)

[dave1558]

This was such a great time. Great Progressive Country Music as we used to call it. I would give anything to have this album on I tunes!

Mine Shaft for a pitcher of beer & Calico performing.

Now thats what I'm talking about.

Last time I saw Calico (in person), was at the old Sportatoriam in Dallas when they performed in concert with Willie Nelson.

Good times, no GREAT times. Such great love ballads on that album.

brings back some great memories of the 70's.

Calico was under the radar but they were so good!

I worked at a country radio station in the '70s. I remembered fragments of this song and have looked for it over the years. Tonight I found it! Amazing.

The song is before my time however very nice. I love Texas

Keith Impellitier piano player and singer of this song (Ifacebook) has both albums converted to cd and sells them. He sent me some co\pies and it sounds great!

Saw Calico perform this in Dallas....Prettiest song about Texas EVER...

[BeckRD1]

I used to have the album, too. So glad to find folks that remember them. Wish they'd get back together for a concert...

Thank you for the post. I have that album. it is great. Went to college and worked with my old friend Jerry Oates of Calico. Used to go see them in Fort Worth, Dallas, and Arlington. Great band.

I thought I was the only person who remembered this group. I've been looking for Calico albums for years. I lived in an apartment in Carrollton when these songs came out and one of the band members' brothers or brother-in-laws (or cousin--it's been a long time) lived upstairs from me.

I can't believe I finally found this song again. I used to have the Calico album. I always loved that song. Much thanks to the person who posted it.

Are you kidding. I loved this group in the 70's. I lost the album as I was raising my kids.....in one of the moves. Anyway, on a whim, I did a search on Youtube. YOu have a new CD?

Hey Silvercreek21, I went to "Up your Alley" in Dallas every chance I got to watch them. I'd love a copy of this song. Are they even available anymore?

[silvercreek21]

Thank you for posting this. I used to see the group in Arlington, TX in the 70's and loved this song. I have searched for it many times.
