I'm really digging the new Calexico album, Garden Ruin. As every reviewer has pointed out, they've phased out the mariachi part of their sound to focus on the folk/country rock aspects, and it works well. I like the mariachi thing they had going, but I can see how it would get old. They still have some worldier sounds making their way onto the album, and some of the songs are just stunning. Big thumbs up, I'll probably add it to the recommended section of the website this week.
