New RK CD
I picked up the newly released Reckless Kelly CD earlier.
It didn't wow me after one listen.
However, it took the last disc quite a number of listens to grow on me, so maybe that will be the case with this one too.
Jack Sparks had this to say about it, before we mere mortals could actually buy the thing:
A road record that's not another boring road record. It's like Reckless Kelly is finally comfortable in their own skin. Not to say that they weren't good before, but rather, they've pounded out their identity with a slaughterhouse skull hammer, and now we have a very tight disk, both musically and thematically.
Comfortable. That may actually fit what I heard earlier. But I like my alt-country a little uncomfortable.
I'll have to listen more before I have anything else to say.

I guess one of these days I'll have to get a RK cd. Problem is I saw them awhile back and wasn't all that impressed. They seemed to me at the time to be sorta generic. Now granted they had the misfortune of being the "main" band, and the Groobees opened for them.
I kept asking myself why these guys were the "big draw" and not the Groobees who in my opinion put on a much better show. Maybe that experience jaded me somewhat about RK. It's been a couple of years, and maybe I should give em another go.
