Bulletproof

For their fourth full-length, BULLETPROOF, Austin, Texas' Reckless Kelly wring the tears out of roadhouse weepers and shred the asphalt in highway anthems with equal aplomb. With cranked guitar grit acting as the rock foil for the pure honky-tonk vocals, the brothers Braun know the rules of Texas roots rock better than any of their contemporaries save Steve Earle. Recorded at Willie Nelson's studio in Lake Travis, BULLETPROOF features the biliously political "American Blood," an anti-war anthem that acts as the perfect answer song to Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (the Angry American)."
