Great American Taxi: Reckless Habits

R.E.D. Distribution

For Reckless Habits, Colorado’s Great American Taxi enlisted Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth) to produce an album that is as loose as the band’s anything-goes live shows. Carbone brought in the four-piece Peak to Freak Horns, pedal steel wiz Barry Sless, banjo player Matt Flinner and the Black Swan Singers to give GAT’s songs more depth; the resulting 14 songs boast a much fuller sound than the band’s debut studio album. The New Orleans-infused track “(Just When You Think It Can’t) Get No Better (Then It Does)” stands out thanks to Vince Herman’s Dr. John-like vocal delivery and the flair of the Peak to Freak Horns. Other highlights are GAT’s cover of Jeff Tweedy’s Uncle Tupelo-era track “New Madrid” and Sless’s pedal steel work.
