You know, I just [A] love watching Reckless Kelly do their [E] thing.
You know, these guys really put a lot into their music and into their live show.
Well, here they are with a special treat for [G] us.
It's their take on one of their favorite Kevin Welch tunes, Alphabet City Blues.
Now, we actually got to back up Kevin on several shows over the years and just kind of be his band.
We had that song, it was actually my favorite tune of his that we were going to do.
I was looking forward to [D] playing it and we got to the [G] show and he hadn't put it on the list.
And I was like, man, aren't we going to do Alphabet City?
And he's like, [D] well, I figure if we don't [G] do it because you like it so much, maybe you'll record it someday.
So we actually just worked that one up a few weeks ago and we've been playing it a little bit here live.
So that's a cool [C] song.
