The Reckless Electric have one essential rule: If it’s not fun, they don’t do it. So the duo’s debut album, cheekily called Comeback, is above all a really, really good time.
The band is a side project for <a href="spotify:artist:72FO0BvoMxHvbQwbNrKqtj" data-name="Mary Bragg">Mary Bragg</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3mTESq7qkYJ5k6WiEAY9Uk" data-name="Becky Warren">Becky Warren</a>, two award-winning Nashville-based Americana artists. Between them, the two have won songwriting awards from Merlefest and Kerrville New Folk, opened for The Secret Sisters (Mary) and The Indigo Girls (Becky), and have become mainstays in the Nashville Americana scene. NPR Music called Mary’s music “sublime distilling of southern grit” and The Bitter Southerner named Warren’s solo debut one of the 20 best southern albums of 2016.
But all of that was so…serious. And it only takes a few minutes with Mary and Becky to see that they have a wildly good time together—full of laughter and dancing and singing, but relatively little seriousness. So the two set out to write ten songs that would celebrate what they love about making music together, while leaving out the business drudgery that’s a necessary part of their solo careers.
Ironically, the result is the most commercial effort from either artist. The songs on Comeback are electric, danceable, catchy, and, most of all, pure fun. There’s a significant serving of humor, but always paired with the duo’s whip-smart lyric and melody skills as a foundation.
