Reckless Kelly
Hometown: Austin, TX
Though they’re honored by the recognition, Reckless Kelly might have preferred winning something besides Best Country Band at this year’s Austin Music Awards. Something like Best Live Band — their Lone Star Music Award win — works nicely. That’s because they’re hardly country; certainly not in the Nashville-approved sense, anyway. Brothers Cody and Willy Braun and their Austin-based band of merry men have described themselves as a rock band with a fiddle, which also works. But 2008’s Bulletproof, hailed as their best yet, hit No. 22 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, thanks to hook-filled songs like “Ragged as the Road” and “A Guy Like Me,” or the political statement of “American Blood” and the personal reflection of the title tune. More than just a country band that rocks or a country-leaning rock band — or, for that matter, a good-time party band — Reckless Kelly is a band of substance. And that fits any genre.
