    Carried to Dust isn't just one of Calexico's most expansive albums, it's also their most balanced, channeling their experience and potential into a subtly dramatic, chiaroscuro tour de force.

    It's tempting to think of Carried to Dust as a companion piece to "Feast of Wire."...And, like that distinguished predecessor, this one is a beauty from start to finish.

    With 15 tracks, there a good deal to like. [Oct 2008, p.112]

    Without question my favorite album in this genre of all time. Every single song is worth listening to. Absolutely a 10 out of 10 album. Man Made Lake and Red Blooms are my faves.… Expand
