Reckless Kelly to Release Iconic Reckless Kelly Was Here Live Album on Digital Streaming Platforms for the First Time Ever
Experience the raw energy of Reckless Kelly's classic 2006 live performance at La Zona Rosa in Austin, Texas, featuring fan-favorites like "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" and "Wicked Twisted Road"
Austin, TX - November 8, 2024 – Americana and Outlaw Country legends Reckless Kelly are thrilled to announce the release of their seminal live album, Reckless Kelly Was Here, on all digital streaming platforms for the first time ever. Originally recorded live in 2006 at Austin’s famed La Zona Rosa, this fan-favorite album captures the full power and range of the band’s high-octane, roots-rocking live show, bringing the sound and spirit of Reckless Kelly’s celebrated performance style straight to listeners' ears.
Reckless Kelly Was Here is packed with beloved tracks, including their cover of Richard Thompson's classic "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," "Nobody's Girl" and "Wicked Twisted Road," which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year. This long-awaited release invites a new generation of fans to experience the unmatched energy of an RK concert, packed with sing-alongs, musical surprises, and tributes to Texas legends and beyond.
"As is true with so many roots-rocking bands based in Austin, Texas, a sweaty club brings out the rambunctious best in Reckless Kelly," writes Don McLeese. "From the pulverizing opener 'Sixgun,' which owes as much to AC/DC as the roadhouse, to the reflective 'Wicked Twisted Road,' the band feeds on the call-and-response energy of the hometown crowd and pays it back."
Fans can enjoy special tributes to Texas icons Alejandro Escovedo ("Castanets") and the Texas Tornados ("Guacamole") along with unforgettable renditions of Richard Thompson’s "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" and the Beatles' "Revolution." From rock-driven anthems like "Wiggles & Ritalin" to the twangy “Nobody’s Girl,” where frontman Willy Braun channels Steve Earle, Reckless Kelly Was Here is a live experience to remember.
Don’t miss the chance to hear Reckless Kelly Was Here for the first time on your favorite streaming platform and enjoy the band’s roots-rocking legacy brought back to life! Stream the album here!
