Biography

Led by brothers Willy (vocals/guitar) and Cody Braun (vocals/fiddle/mandolin/harmonica), alternative country rock outfit Reckless Kelly formed in Bend, OR, before relocating to Austin, TX, in January 1997. The Brauns had previously toured with their father in Muzzie Braun & the Boys, a swing band, and were joined in their own group by lead guitarist Casey Pollock, bassist Chris Schelske, and drummer Jay Nazz. Reckless Kelly's debut album, Millican, appeared in 1998; Acoustic: Live at Stubb's and Demon Days both followed two years later, after which David Abeyta replaced Pollock on lead guitar. Under The Table And Above The Sun from 2003 began the band's relationship with the high-profile Sugar Hill label and won the hearts of the music press and honky tonkin' legend Joe Ely, who sang the band's praises in interviews. Wicked Twisted Road was released in 2005, and the next year the live album Reckless Kelly Was Here, which featured songs from all of their previous studio records, as well as three covers, and truly captured the band's stage presence, came out. Bulletproof appeared from Yep Roc in 2008. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

    Lyrics
    My first love was a wicked twisted road
    I hit the million mile mark at seventeen years old
    I never saw the rainbow much less a pot of gold
    Yeah, my first love was a wicked twisted road
    My first love was a castle in the sky

    Lyrics
    The first pub we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane
    A Virgin flight to Shannon town the day it didn't rain
    The laughin' eyes of Ireland sparklin' blue and green
    With hair as black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen
    We're back out on the cobble stones, whiskey drunk and high again

    Lyrics
    The first man that you ever loved
    Left your mama, never said goodbye to anyone
    And you were raised with your head held high
    But any fool can see it's just a clever disguise
    You're nobody's baby

    Lyrics
    This road I'm on it's blacktop and gravel
    It's a faded blue line this road I travel
    It's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch
    It's a brakeman sleepin' on a dead man's switch
    And I'm a rollin' faster than a locomotive

    Lyrics
    Johnny can't drink 'cause Johnny ain't twenty one
    Yeah, but he's eighteen and he's pretty handy with a gun
    They sent him off to a foreign land
    Gave him a new pair of boots and thirteen grand
    And he came back home with American blood on his hands
