Willy Braun and the boys from Caldwell, Idaho made Texas their adopted home for good reason, and by 2008 they'd earned the trust of the Austin circuit the hard way, through relentless touring and a live reputation that consistently outpaced their studio work. Bulletproof finds them channeling that road-worn energy into their sharpest set of songs yet, sitting comfortably in the tradition of Texas rock that runs from the Flatlanders through the Truckers. Reckless Kelly is back on the rock n' roll stage with BULLETPROOF, their most ambitious and venomous album to date. Rollicking guitars and a relentlessly aggressive rhythm section pound out political statements alongside epic road anthems and ragged love songs. As always, Reckless brings it's indomitable Texas spirit to the new album, resulting in what promises to be the band's most immediate offering of their promises to be the band's most immediate offering of their career. Recorded at Willie Nelson's legendary Perdernales Studios in Lake Travis, Texas, BULLETPROOF is a call to arms, an opening salvo in Reckless Kelly's campaign to spread the nearly religious dedication of it's Texas followers to fans all across the U.S. of A.
