A little push and pull gives music an edge, and this is a duo that promises all kinds of volatility. The beauty in the precarious pairing of Reckless Eric and Amy Rigby is in its looming unpredictability. Hell, that's what I look for. Reckless Eric was part of Stiff Records' first wave in the 1970's, along with folks like Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, and The Damned. Rigby started out as a country singer in New York City before going reckless. Accompanied only by their guitars, the duo still manages to bristle big and electric.
