Fresh from their sell out tour of the World and Eastern Uzbekistan, Reckless Empire were keen to put an EP together of tracks that were written during the endless parade of sound checks and post concert jams. Unfortunately they didn't really come up with anything that wasn't complete crap, so they decided to do a few songs that someone else wrote. The boys called the cream of legendary song writers and performers, but they were busy, so they found an old guy at the pub that did a serious amount of busking on his ukulele and was very very very good. He had some killer ideas and some killer BO. Sprinkled with the Reckless Empire magic dust, the songs came to life. Unfortunately the old guy didn't do quite as well, but they did hear him bequeath all the royalties to 'the Empire' before choking to death on the magic dust. RIP old guy. As a result Reckless Empire thought about donating his part of the royalties from all album sales to a worthy and reputable charity on his behalf. Briefly. The album was eventually recorded at Reckless Ranch ©, with each of the band recording their tracks individually. Partly driven by the artistic purity and integrity for their respective instruments, but mainly because they've never really gotten along. The result is Reckless Empire V. A musical odyssey to the centre of your soul, guaranteed to solve every single problem that you have ever had... and some you didn't even know you had... and believe me, you have them. Listen, Enjoy, but most importantly Buy..... we still haven't paid off the last tour :)
