September 23, Reckless
Kelly will celebrate their 20th anniversary with the release of Sunset Motel, their first album with Thirty Tigers and follow up to their Grammy Award winning (Best Recording Package) 2013 release, Long Night Moon.
Billboard spoke with frontman Willy Braun about the new album and premiered the single "Moment In The Sun." "We ended up writing about 30 or 50 songs and picking the best 20 or so and then recorded them and knocked it own to 13," Braun told Billboard's Gary Graff. "It just ended up being the best of the best. It was kind of a relief not to have to try too hard to go in any one direction or any kind of vibe."

Recently, Taste of Country premiered "Who's Gonna Be Your Baby Now," the second single to be released from the new collection. Sterling Whitaker wrote, "The Austin-based band were Americana before there really was such a term, combining roots, rock and country influences into an uncompromising musical approach that has earned the Grammy-winning group a very steadfast and loyal following."
Rolling Stone Country announced the album with a stream of "How Can You Love Him (You Don't Even Like Him)," the first single to be released from the album, and said "Sunset Motel finds the band in familiar musical territory � bounding fearlessly between the sounds of jangling heartland rock and scrappy, hardscrabble country, with stories that refuse to dumb themselves down for mass appeal."
Sunset Motel is now available for pre-order and includes instant downloads of "How Can You Love Him (You Don't Even Like Him)," "Who's Gonna Be Your Baby Now," and "Moment In The Sun."
The band is currently on the road celebrating the forthcoming release of Sunset Motel and will performing the AmericanaFest in Nashville, TN on
