Reckless Kelly - Reckless Kelly Was Here [2 CD + DVD]

When Texas rockers Reckless Kelly take the stage, the energy is unmistakable, the fun a given. Performed before the usual wild audience of roots-loving country rock fan at La Zona Rosa in Austin, Texas, on March 31, 2006, Reckless Kelly Was Here is an audio/visual performance bringing the 'wild bunch' right into the living room to experience, almost - almost! - like being there live. So bring on the boys and get a little reckless.

Listen to the disc(s). Watch the DVD. It's the same experience, doubled! The live performance which was filmed was also recorded, so if you aren't at home with your DVD player, you can slip the CD in and enjoy the same show without the visuals. Plus, there's a few extra studio tracks thrown on disc 2. Bonus!

It's a triple score for the Reckless ones, a group that's matured and grown over the years and yet managed to stick pretty close to their original sound, a gutsy blend of roots rock and honky-tonk of the sort that exists solely to confuse the hell out of music store sorters (I first found Reckless Kelly stored in 'rock,' but the first album I listened to, Acoustic - Live at Stubbs, was pure, hardcore honky-tonk). Of course that lands them square as 'Americana' artists, and, as often happens with Americana, it's just plain good music. ~ Full Review at About.com
