CalexicoandIron & Winefirst made an artistic connection withIn the Reins, the 2005 EP that brought Sam Beam, Joey Burns and John Convertino together. The acclaimed collaboration introduced both acts to wider audiences and broadened Beams artistic horizons, but it was the shared experience of touring together in the tradition of Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder Revue that cemented their bond. Their metaphorical roads diverged in the years that followed, but they kept in touch and cross-pollinated where they could. But although they often talked about rekindling their collaboration in the studio and on the stage, it wasnt until last year that their schedules aligned.
