When Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore made the albumDowney To Lubbock together in 2018, they wrote the title track as a sort of mission statement. “Iknow someday this old highway’s gonna come to an end,” Alvin sings near the song’sconclusion. Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.”Six years later, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re stillstanding, no matter what you might hear,” they sing on “We’re Still Here,” the final track to theirnew album Texicali . Due out Jun 21, 2024 on Yep Roc Records, Texicali continues to bridge thedistance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas(Gilmore).The album’s geographic theme reflects Alvin’s repeated journeys to record in Central Texas withGilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years.The 11 songs on Texicali also connect the duo’s shared fondness for a broad range of Americanmusic forms. On their own, both have been prominent artists for decades. A philosophicalsongwriter with a captivating, almost mystical voice, Gilmore co-founded influential Lubbockgroup the Flatlanders in the early 1970s. Alvin first drew attention as a firebrand guitarist andbudding young songwriter with Los Angeles roots-rockers the Blasters in the early 1980s.Gilmore is primarily known for left-of-center country music, while Alvin’s compass points largelytoward old-school blues. But there’s a lot of ground to cover beyond those foundations, and bothartists also are well-known for transcending genre limitations. So it’s not surprising that they’vespiked Texicali with cosmic folk narratives, deep R&B grooves and even swinging reggaerhythms. “There’s such a strange variety through the whole thing,” Gilmore says. “And I lovethat.”They’re both quick to credit the musicians who joined them in the studio as crucial to the soundand spirit of the album. On Downey To Lubbock , they recorded primarily in Los Angeles with acrew that included ringers such as the late Don Heffington on drums and Van Dyke Parks onaccordion. This time, though, Alvin’s longtime rhythm section of drummer Lisa Pankratz andbassist Brad Fordham played a larger role, along with guitarist Chris Miller and keyboardistBukka Allen. “After the time we spent touring, Jimmie and I became members of this band,”Alvin says. “The band can play just about anything, which the album shows off.”Texicali also found Alvin and Gilmore increasingly focusing on original songs. Among them are“Trying To Be Free,” which Gilmore wrote more than 50 years ago; “Southwest Chief,” acollaboration between Alvin and the late Bill Morrissey; and “Death of the Last Stripper,” whichAlvin wrote with Terry Allen and his wife Jo Harvey Allen.Just as important, however, are the choices they made for non-original material. The covers onTexicali include “Roll Around” by Gilmore’s longtime friend Butch Hancock; “Broke DownEngine” and “Betty And Dupree” from blues greats Blind Willie McTell and Brownie McGhee,respectively; and Stonewall Jackson’s “That’s Why I’m Walking,” which marries Gilmore’scountry croon to a New Orleans R&B arrangement. Gilmore says he loves New Orleans music,“but it’s not the music I play.” Dave slyly counters: “It is now!”
