Naim Amor is a Frenchman among the saguaros of Tucson. Since moving there in 1997, Amor has had a hand in numerous projects, including the Amor Belhom Duo and a collaboration with Giant Sand, as well as several instrumental and vocal albums as a solo artist. For Sanguine, his latest vocal album, he enlisted locals Calexico as his backing band with Joey Burns as producer to further cross-pollinate French pop with dusty Southwestern sounds. On the understated "Precious Second", Calexico's brushed snare and roomy bass create a sparse desert backdrop for Amor's hushed vocals and guitar pirouettes, so that the song floats pensively in the dry Franco-Arizonan air.
