Producers: Jonathan Tyler, Willy Braun, Cody Braun
Texas-via-Idaho band Reckless Kelly have been active since ‘96, touring to acclaim in Americana, honky tonk and country rock circuits. The Grammy winners are back with their 17th album. Lead-off track “Keep Lookin’ Down the Road” is anthemic. “Lightning in a Bottle” is gorgeous.
There are plenty of melancholy “sad cowboy” ballads, which admittedly do blend together in the middle of the album. “Call me the mayor of Miserable City” stands out as a strong, upbeat interlude.
