‘TexiCali’ is the a brand new studio album from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and it is out June 21st via Yep Roc Records.  In advance we can point you towards the aptly-titled first single “We’re Still Here.”  It’s got some great lines, put perhaps the best series is:  “The music business man with the music business smile / said the songs I write were old and out of style / But I’ve been bopping these blues for over forty years / Hell, I don’t know where he is now but we’re still here.”  Here at the home of the uncool and permanently out of style we can surely relate to that.

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
