Released just one month after Bap sadly passed away, Reckless Heart is a collection of soulful rock tunes with and upbeat tone that is a testament to the personality of the man himself.
Lonely Street Records and the Kennedy family had worked tirelessly to try to get the album released before Bap's death, but sadly it was not to be.
Bap Kennedy had been diagnosed with pancreas and bowel cancer in May and had lived out his final months in hospice care. Tributes from the likes of Van Morrison and Ralph McLean followed the news his passing.
The family agreed that the best way to honour the legacy of the Belfast musician was to continue with the release of Reckless Heart at the earliest opportunity.
Reckless Heart was released in the UK/Ireland on December 2, with the US release being confirmed for January 27 2017. January 27 will also see the vinyl edition of the album available worldwide.
