Band: RECKLESS KELLY
Album: Good Luck & True Love
Label: No Big Deal Records
Reckless Kelly needs absolutely no introduction. After 15 years in the business the release of their latest album and 9th overall, Good Luck & True Love, sees them return to the form that catapulted them to success. Known for their blending of rock and country they have always put together collections of very very strong songs and this album is more of the same from Reckless Kelly, but the difference this time around is that they are on their own label allowing them that much more freedom to expand on what they already do great. The grittiness you already love from them is present throughout this album whether they are focused on singing about the road on “Weatherbeaten Soul” of straight up heartbreak with cuts like “Give It A Try” or “I Never Liked St. Valentine.” Though always having a more old school based, rock approach to their albums, they have taken it one step further with this one stating that” if someone in the band can’t play it, it’s not going on the record” and because of that thought process our ears are treated to the most solid band efforts they have ever put out to date. This is a must have for any collection of good, solid music that leans a little bit on the edge and with the tracking of the album for the most part being live, you also get the feel and energy at times throughout the album that you are at a venue watching another rowdy, Reckless Kelly performance rather than just spinning their new album.
