Live at Stubbs (Reckless, 1998)
Reckless Kelly
Reviewed by Chuck Hamilton
This album, an acoustic set, recorded at one of Austin's top music venues, shows this fivesome moving easily between country and rock. Through it all are lyrics that hold your interest and supurb instrumentation. Although the groups leans towards uptempo sounds, it handles ballads equally well with "She Sang the Red River Valley" one of the strongest tracks. Their cover of Bob Dylan's mid-sixties "Subterranean Homesick Blues"is another highlight. The cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," however, doesn't make the transition to accoustic all that well.
The music has enough substance to justify repeated listenings. And you may have to listen several times before you decide if it's rock or country. (Call 1-877-RECKLESS).
