Kind of got all the tunes together on this record, then we went in the studio and started talkin' to Cody about playing and doing a little singing on some stuff. Tightened up a lot of the songs, did a lot of co-writing together on this record. MB: I just started writing the songs for this album and talking to Willy about producing it and he decided he wanted to get on board. Willy Braun produced it and had a hand in co-writing most of the songs. Over in the younger brother Micky's camp, the Motorcars recently released their 6th studio album, Hearts From Above. Don't make a lot of money selling records or songs anymore. ![]() Meanwhile, the band has another full year of touring planned for the coming year. And listening to us talking about the arrangements and the original versions of them are pretty funny, and the commentary that goes along with them. And it's really fun too, you start listening to practice tapes from 15 years ago and you hear songs taking shape, songs that we've now played thousands of times. I've been diving through a bunch of stuff here, cassettes and CDs and countless piles of notes and scrapbook type of stuff that we've been starting to dig through, And it's really kind of overwhelming to see how much stuff we've done over the years. We're just starting to dive into that right now. It'll probably be a year or two before we get that wrapped up. And we're talking about releasing that with a new studio album at the same time. So we're starting to put together a 20-year kind of package, like an anthology almost, with a bunch of bootlegs, studio out-takes and board-takes and things like that. WB: Well, we got our 20 year anniversary coming up in a couple of years. While the band doesn't have any plans to release a new album in 2015, they are gearing up for a special anniversary release. Since then, the quintet has been on a non-stop roll with songs such as "Wicked Twisted Road," "Ragged as the Road," "Love In Her Eyes," "One False Move," "Wandering Eye," "Guy Like Me," "Give It A Try," "Good Luck & True Love," "She Likes Money, He Likes Love" and more. While 2000's "Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah" has become a crowd favorite in concert, it arguably wasn't until the song "Nobody's Girl" was released in 2003 that the band started getting more widespread attention. Reckless Kelly have been releasing albums since 1998. And we can put "Grammy Award Winning" stickers on the album now! That might move a few copies. It's really hard to track that kind of thing. And I think we sell more hard copies than a lot of bands just because we tour a lot. I think we would probably sell some more hard copies than we normally would. Has winning a Grammy for best album artwork translated into a boost in album sales? If you don't cook, you bring a bottle of wine. ![]() Almost everybody brings a little something. We have a bunch of friends and other people that pop by over the course of the day. Our drummer, Jazz, usually fries a turkey Texas-style in boiling oil. Mom does most of the heavy lifting, she does a turkey. WB: Everybody does a little of everything. Had a big orphan's Thanksgiving party at my place. And while the band may not be as well known in Utah as their home state-by-way-of-Idaho-and-Oregon of Texas, Reckless is getting ready to celebrate 20 years as a band. Willy and Cody Braun (Gary and Mick's older brothers), meanwhile, are also getting ready for another typical heavy year of touring with Reckless Kelly. For Micky and his brother Gary Braun, the Motorcars are gearing up for another heavy year of touring in 2015 while also supporting their new album Hearts From Above.
