The moment
Middle Cyclone had debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 that spring — a tornado-obsessed art-country record outselling pop, the unlikeliest chart story of 2009 — and Neko Case was touring it with Calexico opening, the Tucson band whose desert atmospherics had backed her own records for years. A theater in Northampton, the voice at full power, the collaborators sharing one bill: the night the archive's Neko and Calexico threads braid together.
From the time
- Middle Cyclone
“The 2009 album that hit #3 on the Billboard 200 — noir country at its commercial peak.”
