Last night: The Old 97's and Reckless Kelly at 713 Music Hall. Old97s recklesskelly 713musichall
a few weeks ago — about who would win a tournament among Texas Americana/alt-country bands.
Sure, the Old 97's veered off the train tracks somewhat with their poppier releases , while Reckless Kelly have stubbornly refused to be be pigeonholed , but neither act will ever be confused with the current regrettable crop of bro-country artists. Describing Reckless Kelly as last night's"opening act" is inaccurate, as both bands played full sets. RK highlights included"Wicked Twisted Road" and a cover of Richard Thompson's"1952 Vincent Black Lightning," which has become a live staple.
Okay:"lurches" isn't really fair. But damn if those guys don't really seem to age. Aside from more gray in guitarist Ken Bethea and bassist Murry Hammond's hair, that is. And if we're being honest, Murry was probably born looking 50-something.But Miller still does that pinwheel thing with his guitar strumming hand, and Bethea still wears the one wristband, and drummer Philip Peeples ... has a mustache.
