"Kieran Kane's Dead Reckoning has a haunting quality that keeps you coming back for more."--James Chrispell, All Music "Kane really excels on ballads, such as the haunting ``He Never Knew What Hit Him'' and the elegiac, accordion-laced ``Bell Ringing in an Empty Sky.'' Another highlight is a stark, harrowing cover of Hank Williams' ``Rambling Man.''--Nick Cristiano, Knight-Ridder "Dead Rekoning," is a heartfelt statement of intent.... A direct, minimalist approach gives "Dead Rekoning" its life."--Dave Hoekstra, Chicago Sun-Times Kieran Kane's music is adult in the truest sense of the word. His explorations of mature love, struggles with personal difficulties, and the meaning of life lead directly to his philosophical explorations of faith and life on his more recent releases. The maturity is not surprising; Kieran's been a successful Top Ten solo artist, a member of the duo The O'Kanes (with Jamie O'Hara), with whom he had six more Top Tens and received rave reviews, and a successful songwriter (he wrote Alan Jackson's huge hit "I'll Go On Loving You"). He left his Atlantic lable in the early 1990s and soon formed Dead Reckoning Records with Harry Stinson, Kevin Welch, Tammy Rogers and Mike Henderson. He has done several albums with Kevin Welch, Fats Kaplin and Lucas Kane as Kane Welch Kaplin, and did an album with Lucas and David Francey, "Go Jane Go."
