GET TO KNOW RECKLESS KELLY.
Reckless Kelly unite the Braun family’s roots-music background with the punch of an Austin rock band. Brothers Willy and Cody Braun give the group its vocal and instrumental center, with fiddle, guitar and road-tested songwriting sharing the foreground. Their music makes an easy bridge between Americana, Texas country and roots rock.
The songs often follow people in motion, whether the subject is a relationship, a stretch of highway or the emotional cost of leaving. Melodic detail matters as much as volume, and the band’s records reward listeners who follow the instrumental conversation around the lead vocal.
