Independent Music

Reckless Records was formed in 1998 by Bill Chambers (Kasey Chambers' dad) and Audrey Auld. Bill & Audrey had made their debut duet album 'Looking Back To See', and realized there was no label in Australia that would be interested in releasing traditional country music. So with reckless abandon they formed their own label.

For Audrey it was her first album release, so she drew on her years of experience working in the film and animation industry to help her with the administrative aspects, combining that with a strong work ethic and the love of a challenge.

Bill had several recordings released with the Dead Ringer Band and many years of experience dealing with record labels, the media, touring and fans.

Together their skills have introduced traditional country and roots music to a new audience in Australia, and opened the eyes of U.S. fans to new sounds from Down Under.

Bill and Audrey have often been cited as an inspiration to singers, songwriters and musicians keen to discover the roots of Australian and American music, and to find their place within it. They've also reaffirmed the independent path to many artists.

By releasing Fred Eaglesmith, The Yearlings and Mary Gauthier's music in Australia, great music that will never be on the Top 40 gains an audience. "We work with artists we love who make the music they love ", says Audrey. "We're not record label gurus. We're singers/songwriters just trying to get our music heard."
