The Brauns had previously toured with their father in Muzzie Braun & the Boys, a Western 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 Day 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.
Bringing more rock than roots to their new release Bulletproof, this collection of songs is Reckless Kelly's most ambitious and venomous album to date and was released in June 2008. The band delivers rollicking guitars, an aggressive rhythm section, and lyrics addressing politics of the day, epic road anthems and ragged love songs. With 14 songs, it's a Texas-size serving that will move you from one end of the spectrum to the other.
