Patrons under the ageof 21, please be prepared to pay a$2 cash surcharge at the door inaddition to purchasing a ticket.

Now promoting their fifthalbum, Wicked Twisted Road, thisTexas quintet brings country-rockat its best to The Blue Note. Thesenew songs bristle with the muscu-lar, idiosyncratic energy andinventiveness that has led theband (which includes guitaristDavid Abeyta, bassist JimmyMcFeeley, and drummer JayNazz) to become one of Austin,Texas' most dynamic and relent-lessly entertaining live acts.

"We scaled back a little bit in thatwe didn't use every instrumentthat was hanging on the wall,"says Willy Braun of the newalbum.

The multiple facets of the indi-vidual songs come into focus oneat a time: the lashing adrenalinerush of "Sadie Got A Six Gun," themelodic bravado of "These Tears"("[You] ain't a tough enough mem-ory/To compare with what I'vebeen through"); the small-townmelancholy and ennui of

"Dogtown"—taken from theBrauns' actual history, as was thewistful "Hiram and His OldLady"; the Steve Earle-ish bad girlimagery of "Nobody Haunts MeLike You"; the picaresque, boozytravelogue that is "Seven Nights InIreland"; the Southern rock send-up—complete with a Dixie-friedGreek chorus of girl singers—thatis "Wretched Again"; and the hard-won wisdom that infuses "MyBaby's Got A Whole Lot More."

Of Reckless Kelly, a critic forMusic Row magazine wrote,"Rootsy, jangly country-rock, withall its punch in place. In my per-fect world, this is what countryradio would sound like."

Willy and Cody Braun wereraised as heirs to a musical tradi-tion. They grew up touring andplaying with their father's band,Muzzie Braun and the Boys. Theyopened for the likes of MerleHaggard, played the Grand OleOpry and appeared twice on TheTonight Show in the JohnnyCarson era.

"Dad's lyrics were always realand down to earth, day-to-daylanguage," recalled Willy, "and Ilearned a lot about songwritingfrom him. And growing up on theroad, he taught us pretty mucheverything we know how to play,how to sing harmonies, all about

the business."The band arrived in Austin in

1997. Renamed Reckless Kelly(after the folk-hero Australian out-law), the young band began hit-ting the honky-tonks and listeningrooms in the Texas capital. RobertEarl Keen, one of the deans of thebooming Texas country-rockscene, took them under his wing.The group released its first album,Millican, which sold over 20,000copies, a formidable sum for adebut album on an indie label by afledgling band. Acoustic: Live AtStubb's followed in 2000, as didThe Day the same year.

Now Wicked Twisted Road is abid to take everything to a newlevel. The members no longer feelconfined by the "Texas Music"label. Their vision is coast-to-coast.

"We do more gigs out of Texasthan we do in," said Willy Braun,citing Reckless Kelly hotbeds inOregon and Washington, NewYork, Connecticut, and Chicago.

The Braun brothers, who wereliterally raised on the road, andthe rest of Reckless Kelly, knowthat such careers are built oneSaturday night at a time. WickedTwisted Road documents a bandthat's ready to go the distance.

The Crucible will be per-formed Oct. 13-15 throughThe Little Theatre ofJefferson City at the MillerPerforming Arts Centerlocated at 501 MadisonStreet.

"I believe that the readerwill discover here the essen-tial nature of one of thestrangest and most awfulchapters in human history,"Arthur Miller wrote in anintroduction to TheCrucible, his classic playabout the witch-hunts andtrials in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts. Based on histori-cal people and real events, this drama is a searing portrait of a com-munity engulfed by hysteria. In the rigid theocracy of Salem, rumorsthat women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town's fears andsuspicions, and when a young girl accuses Elizabeth Proctor of beinga witch, church leaders and townspeople insist that she be brought totrial. The ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neigh-bor to testify against neighbor illuminate the destructive power ofsocially sanctioned violence. The Crucible is a mirror Miller uses toreflect the anti-communist hysteria inspired by Senator JosephMcCarthy's American "witch-hunts."

Directed by Keith Enloe, the part of Betty Parris will be played byMaggie Jones. Rev. Samuel Parris will be played by Terry Schoonoverand Tituba by Danielle Thomas.

Admission is $12. Tickets are available from TLT by calling (573) 681-9400, or visit tltjc.org. The box office is open ONLYduring the week of each performance, and is locatedat the Etta and Joseph Miller Performing Arts Center,501 Madison St. in Jefferson City. Box office hours are5:00 PM - 7 PM Monday thru Wednesday, and 5:00PM - Showtime on show nights.
