New Reckless Kelly Album Coming In February 2010

Reckless Kelly will be releasing Somewhere in Time on February 9, 2010 via Yep Roc Records. On their third self-produced record, the band returns to its roots incorporating the "hardcore cowboy songs" of legend and fellow Idaho native, Pinto Bennett.

“While this is Pinto’s material, this is very much a Reckless Kelly record,” explains vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Cody Braun. “It’s simply a bunch of great songs we wanted people to hear.” His brother Willy Braun continues, “I think this time we did again what we always set out to do which is to make a record we can be proud of.”

You can hear the first single of the album HERE.

Somewhere in Time is filled with songs that have special meaning to Willy and Cody Braun, who grew up on the music of the Famous Motel Cowboys and the timeless lyrics of Pinto Bennett. Pinto was an inspiration to Willy, Cody and the band in many ways, musically and otherwise, and they felt it was time to recognize Pinto’s music while making the material very much their own. Along with bandmates, David Abeyta on lead guitar who co-produced the album, Jay Nazz on drums, and Chris Schelske on bass, Reckless Kelly explores their country influences and introduces Bennett's music to a new generation of fans while placing their indelible, rock-edged stamp on it.

Debut single, “Best Forever Yet,” will be released to radio in early 2010. The single speaks of the complicated heartache associated with losing love that wasn't right but there hasn't been better:

I use to think that yesterday we knew how to spend the time
Then I found out it was her way of killing hers and wasting mine
I know that I should tell her all her tears are gonna get her is wet
But you know I can’t cause she’s the best forever yet

Thus, showing Pinto’s lyrics resonate over time and across gender lines and genres.

This release follows the success of 2008’s Bulletproof which broke into the Billboard 200 and crested in the top 25 on the Billboard Country Albums chart Reckless Kelly’s biggest seller. It also contains their first #1 radio hit “Ragged as the Road,” (Texas and AMA charts) and earned them a nomination as Best Band or Duo at the 2009 Americana Music Awards.
