"Kris Kristofferson... I saw him once from afar, in 1989. He was standing in protest in front of the US embassy in Managua. Someone said in my ear, he is famous, a singer from America. I didn't know. That image came back to me at Wavelab, when we were recording Casey's Last Ride with Joey. I asked myself what he was doing now, if he was still angry, still standing."

Marianne Dissard & Calexico
"Casey's Last Ride"
The first time we saw Marianne Dissard, she was singing on one of Calexico's hits at a live radio session in Paris ("Black Session" on France Inter). Later on, we followed her and her chum with Amor Belhom Duo and then Amor. As for Joey Burns, we had been in touch with him at the time of the first "Acuarela Songs" compilation but unfortunately, the band spent so much time touring that they had to decline our invitation. So it's a great pleasure for us to have Marianne and Joey together on a song that will make you sway all summer long!
