Review

I've always been a sucker for bands that can weave a good yarn through their music, and Reckless Kelly's 'Wicked Twisted Road' does just that. Released in 2005, this album was their first with Sugar Hill Records, and boy, did they make it count. The way they blend country, rock, and folk is something special - it reminds me of those long drives through the Texas countryside, windows down, music up.

The title track, 'Wicked Twisted Road,' along with 'Dogtown' and 'Motel Cowboy Show,' really showcase the band's storytelling chops. These aren't just songs; they're little slices of life that hit close to home. I remember listening to 'Seven Nights in Eire' and 'Sixgun' and being blown away by how versatile these guys are. The way they use guitars and fiddles together creates this rich, layered sound that's become their signature.

What's cool is that this album didn't just resonate with their die-hard fans. It made waves on the Top Country Albums chart, peaking at number 66. Singles like 'Baby's Got a Whole Lot More' and 'Stick Around' did well on the Texas Music Chart too. It's great to see a band stay true to their roots while reaching a wider audience. 'Wicked Twisted Road' really cemented Reckless Kelly's place in the Red Dirt and Americana scenes, and for good reason. - Alex
