5.0 out of 5 stars Now's "the day " to buy this!, September 4, 2002

I bought this cd on the strength of an Amazon advert on the site something about "country music that doesn't [stink]" or "Texan songwriters". Anyway this is the best CD I have bought in a long time. It rocks pretty much from start to finish with a country Steve Earl type edge to it. It is also a bit "southern rockish" like Lynnrd Sknnrrd/ Outlaws which I also like. That said these guys are their own men, write their own stuff, are in their twenties and the sound is all their own no matter how you compare their influences. There is no weak track here and the best compliment I can pay is that I have ordered everything else they have done. Hopefully it will not be that long before the next CD appears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reckless Kelly does it again, November 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Day (Audio CD)

From the first song to the last, "The Day" grabs you by the short hairs and doesn't let go. "The Day" is further evidence of Reckless Kelly's ability to knock you on your derriere with a song. Those of you who have not heard it before will be pleasantly surprised how well a country-flavored fiddle and a haunting mandolin compliment a muscular bass and a sizzling electric guitar. The result is a unique sound - one that defies pigeon-holing but one that is exceptionally listenable and leaves you craving more.

"The Day" rocks a little harder than the band's previous CDs, "Millican" and "Live at Stubbs," but displays the same musical diversity, from the raw, driving intensity of "Floodwater" to the more traditional country feel of "What Would You Do." As expected, the harmonies are tight; the shading of Willy's, Cody's and Chris's voices is amazing - it is simultaneously impenetrable and distinct, subtle and slap-you-in-the-face. The melodies and lyrics, all original, are strong, and the musicianship is solid. If you're looking for a fresh new sound, check out Reckless Kelly - they'll quickly become your favorite band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visual, March 21, 2001

The original music in this album is truly visual. I can see Crazy Eddie... I highly recommend this album to those of you who enjoy a little Texas style alternative country rock! The album starts out hot and ends on fire!
