This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage features the Americana Tex-Mex indie rock music of Calexico, who made their fourth appearance on the show. You’ll also hear the dreamlike soundscapes of Irish alt-folk artist Anna Mieke, music from David Wax Museum‘s new album You Must Change Your Life, Americana music pioneer Steve Forbert, and folk singer-songwriter and activist David Huckfelt.
Our Song of the Week comes from indie rockers, Calexico.

Calexico also performed songs from their newest album El Mirador, including “Harness the Wind” and title song “El Mirador.”

The group is organized around Cornelius Eady, a poet and professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, whose writing has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. With the help of musicians Lisa Liu and Charlie Rauh, Eady puts his words to music.
