Comments: The long-running folk-rock duo Calexico has released a new album of Christmas and holiday songs. From the promoter: "Seasonal Shift contains a few cover songs, including classics by John Lennon with Yoko Ono and Tom Petty, as well as a few special guests and a whole lot of good will. It's heartfelt but fun, and earnest but celebratory. It features Calexico in an assortment of guises, referencing Portuguese fado and old Mexican folk songs, from the stripped back two-man skeleton to the full party of international collaborators, including artists like Bombino, Gaby Moreno, Gisela Joao, Nick Urata (DeVotchKa) and Camilo Lara."
