TexiCali, the new album from Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore, continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore). The geographic theme reflects Alvins repeated journeys to record in Central Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years. As Alvin puts it in the liner notes, those road trips informed the music they made on TexiCali. Its 11 songs also connect their shared fondness for a broad range of American music forms. Gilmore is primarily known for left-of-center country music, while Alvins compass points largely toward old-school blues. But theres a lot of ground to cover beyond those foundations, and both artists also are well-known for transcending genre limitations. So its not surprising that theyve spiked TexiCali with cosmic folk narratives, deep R&B grooves and even swinging reggae rhythms.

Songs are;
