Last month, Mike and the Moonpies made their debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium as part of a three-band bill of Red Dirt stalwarts including Jason Boland and Reckless Kelly. Despite going on first, Mike Harmeier and co. found the Ryman’s pews full and the crowd at attention. The fans knew what’s up: The band with the proudly goofy name is too hot to miss.
For those that weren’t at that gig, a new live album from the Moonpies dropped today. Recorded last year at the Devil’s Backbone Tavern in Fischer,...

Fresh off the release of their first new single in more than five years, “Mean Old Sun,” and premiering it live at Stagecoach, the Turnpike Troubadours have announced a string of tour dates for late summer and throughout the fall. The tour, which will follow the August 25 release of their album A Cat in the Rain, includes a run of arenas and amphitheaters across the Midwest and Southeast, as well as stops in New York and Washington, D.C.

When Justin Townes Earle died at 38 in 2020, the Americana world was robbed of one of its brightest talents, a songwriter able to distill sadness, aspiration, and an undercurrent of alienation into vibrant, well-crafted folk songs. On Wednesday night in Nashville, those songs were brought back to vivid life during a year-delayed tribute concert to Justin.
Originally scheduled for last year on what would have been Justin’s 40th birthday but bumped until 2023 because of a surge in the pandemic, A Celebration of Justin Townes Earle gathered some of the artist’s contemporaries,...

To paraphrase the band itself, this is Reckless Kelly’s “Last Hurrah.”
Reckless Kelly — Americana torchbearers from Idaho via Austin, a former member of the Sugar Hill and Yep Rock labels, and a group that has tied Austin rock and cowboy poetry together seamlessly for more than 25 years — is winding down its touring days.
The end will take the form of a slow march. Co-founders and brothers Willy and Cody Braun told Rolling Stone that Reckless will pare back its touring schedule to roughly 35 shows a year starting in 2023 before...

Hayes Carll was in the middle of a performance last week when he managed to sum up what many musicians and fans have been feeling for months.
“I tell people for the first four years of my career and for the last 16 months of my career, I’d finish a song and nobody clapped,” the Texas songwriter said, as midnight neared and cool winds blew into the open-air Truman Waterfront Park Amphitheater in Key West, Florida. “In between, I had a pretty nice run where people clapped. So, it’s...

Texas mainstays Reckless Kelly will reprise their breakthrough 2008 album Bulletproof with a new live recording set to be released in June. The first release from the new project, “You Don’t Have to Stay Forever,” is out now.
Bulletproof Live, a track-by-track recreation of the original, was recorded during the band’s 2018 West Coast tour as they were celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Bulletproof. That album, issued by Yep Roc, landed at Number Two on the Billboard Heatseekers chart upon its release. With “You Don’t Have to Stay Forever,...

In The Overlook, A.V. Club film critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky examines the misfits, underappreciated gems, and underseen classics of film history.
The first shot of Reckless Kelly is a sight gag: a coral-filtered aerial establishing shot of sun-dappled waves and a ragged coastline, the kind found in so many Hollywood blockbusters of the early and mid-’90s, but flipped upside down. “Approaching the coast of Australia,” reads a flash of text. I’ll admit it that the first time I saw it, I let out a dumb laugh, though not as loud as the dumb laugh that came once the camera arrived at the main setting of the first part of the film: a combination hotel, bandit hideout, and video rental with a lobby full of sleeping kangaroos and wombats, where crumpled tallboy cans are raked away like fallen leaves every morning. So, a word of warning: I find this...
