After the Hot Band disbanded in the 1990s, he had a career as a attorney specializing in water law. He has been hailed as one of the "unsung greats"[[2] who played a "crackling" lead guitar.[3]]BiographyEarly lifeReckard was born to Edgar and Susanna Reckard. He grew up in Claremont, California where his father served as a chaplain and a professor of the Claremont Colleges.[1][2] He began playing guitar professionally during high school; Reckard got his early nickname "Fast Farm" from his fast-picking style and the name of this band.[3] He graduated from Claremont High School in 1970,[4] and attended college at UC Santa Cruz, but left to pursue a music career.{{cn|date=November 2018}} Music careerReckard settled in the Los Angeles area and began working as a sideman.[5] He was mentored by two other musicians from Claremont, John Ware and Chris Darrow, and played lead guitar for their group, The Darrow Mosely Band, on their three-track 10" demo EP titled Desert Rain in 1973.[6] At various times from 1972 to 1976 he toured with Hoyt Axton.[7] In 1978, he joined Emmylou Harris's Hot Band, replacing Albert Lee on guitars.[ He also toured at various times with Rodney Crowell and the Cherry Bombs{{cn|date=November 2018}} and Larry Hosford[12](Shelter Records).

He then attended the UCLA School of Law, graduating as a J.D. in 1995. Reckard moved back to New Mexico where he had lived in the early 1980s to work as a lawyer in private practice.
