CALEXICO: Slowness ------------------ (album: Carried to Dust, 2008) This is a beautiful tune off the Calexico's 2008 "Carried to Dust" album. It was nowhere to be found tabbed on the Net, so when I discovered a good solo acoustic rendition by Calexico's own Joey Burns, it went without questioning... The video, by the way, is here (worthwhile): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTaMaYExIjE There are still a few parts of the song where caution is advised - in the kinda pre-chorus line and then at the end of the chorus. Those parts are hard to figure out from the video, but you can simply rely on my version transcribed here - it works (I promise:-).
