CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Rockin' and eclectic, this Austin quintet aims to brighten honky-tonk nights with their fifth album, Wicked Twisted Road. Sure, there's a sense of regret in the opening title track and "Dogtown"--mostly for squandered youth and aspirations--but Celtic fiddle lines and singer Willie Braun's lilting melody makes the tour story "Seven Nights in Eire" a genuine pub song, and "Motel Cowboy Show" celebrates all-night boozin' and lovin' with hot pickin' and a rollicking drum beat. A revving motorcycle kicks off the bad -boy-on-the-run stomp "Sixgun." And there are bad girls, too, like the cruel lover who's "bitter and sweet as a death-row meal" in "Nobody Haunts Me Like You." There's also no shortage of big guitars, growling through half of these numbers and happily rubbing up against the spiky blues harmonica of the post-breakup slammer "Wretched Again." The album winds down with a lovely acoustic instrumental version of the title track--proof that even a wicked twisted road dotted with robberies, heartbreak, and drunkenness can turn back home, peacefully, again. --Ted Drozdowski Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThis is what country bands SHOULD sound like Eric Wilson | Houston, TX | 04/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "If country radio was true to itself and its listeners, and not caught up in imaging, Reckless Kelly would be one of the most played bands. I've been a mediocre fan of theirs for several years, but after hearing a few tracks from this CD on XM Radio, I became a true believer. WICKED TWIST ROAD is not too polished, but also not too raw. The album flows wonderfully, from sad ballad, to honky-tonk, to country-irish (is there such a thing?), to good country-pop, and finally, memorable western story songs. I rarely give CDs 5 stars, but this is a must-have for any alt-country fan. This is what country is all about." Great Band, Great CD. The Fuzz | Manhattan, KS | 09/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Doesn't get much better than this folks. If you're into americana, roots-rock, or alt-country, or if simply like good music, I just can't imagine you not liking this. Highlights for me are the title track, "Dogtown", and "Baby's Got a Whole Lot More", but there's not a bad song on here. Can't beat the awesome packaging, either- they even included a board game (see website for drinking rules). Don't pass this one up. Check out their incredible previous album, too, and also their younger brothers' band called Micky and the Motorcars." RK has a bonified hit this time. B. Chance | College Station, TX | 02/22/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Many of you have probably never heard of Reckless Kelly but let me tell you what you are missing out on. Anyone who likes something a little different than what you hear on the radio and at every little bar will love this album. It has a mix of everything from slow "countryesque" ballads to fast, instrumentally supurb rock/americana type songs. If you wanna try something a little different and alot better than what you are used to, then this album is for you."
