These are very good times for Reckless Kelly. With the release of Bulletproof in '08, the Austin-based roots-rockers, known for the integrity of their musical approach, the hardcore energy of their live shows, and the fierce loyalty of their fans, turned up the intensity on their career. The album quickly became their biggest seller, hitting the Billboard 200 and reaching the Top 25 of the magazine's Top Country Albums chart. It contained their first number one on both the Texas and Americana charts, "Ragged as the Road," and earned them a nomination as Best Band or Duo at the '09 Americana Music Awards, a show that put them on stage with the country's best at the Ryman Auditorium. It also contained "American Blood" and "God Forsaken Town," widely regarded songs that link them to a working-class tradition of socially conscious music that stretches from Woody Guthrie to Bruce Springsteen.
