The album art on Reckless Kelly’s new release, Bulletproof (June 24, Yep Roc), is a semi-faithful rendition of the homemade armor Australian outlaw and band namesake Ned “Reckless” Kelly wore during his final police shootout. But don’t assume that imagery and album title represent the Austin-based band’s propensity for shoot-’em-ups, horse-thievin’ or similarly dangerous behavior; their badass streak is manifested mainly in their fiercely incredible ability to rock out, and their “outlaw” credentials stretch about as far as their appreciation for outlaw country.
If anything, founding brothers Willy and Cody Braun would prefer to do away with bloodshed. One of the most powerful tunes on Bulletproof is “American Blood,” a pointed indictment of the war in Iraq. Like Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.,” it’s a real mover. But unlike that often-misunderstood anti-war anthem, there’s no misconstruing these lyrics; they’re a “Fortunate Son”-style diatribe against leaders who sacrifice patriotic young soldiers for all the wrong reasons.
