"Ballad of Cable Hogue" rides in on Hot Rail, Calexico's 2000 album, and it's Joey Burns's song top to bottom: he wrote the words and the music, plays guitar, accordion and double bass, and shares the lead vocal with Marianne Dissard. Ruben Moreno and Martin Wenk supply the trumpets and Madeleine Sosin the violin, and with brass, squeezebox and fiddle all in the air it has the sunbaked sweep of a widescreen western.
