(2008-2015) In 2008 Reilly again released an album under his own name, naming the two-disc compilation of "odds and ends" Poison the Hit Parade. This was followed by his album Hard Luck Stories in 2009. After the release of his sixth album, Reilly spent two years working on a pilot for the AMC channel called Where's My Goddamn Medicine?, though the pilot was ultimately not picked up. Afterwards, he began working on new material with the Ike Reilly Assassination. After a five-year gap, Reilly's seventh studio album Born on Fire was released in June 2015, again through Rock Ridge Music. The release was a joint venture with and the debut release for Tom Morello's new Firebrand Records. John Ellis of No Depression gave it a glowing review, praising the style and describing it as an "ode to a time when rock and roll was rock and roll...Ike Reilly has crafted an album that weaves in and out of the great epochs of rock." Popmatters wrote that "Reilly’s sonic indelibility only remains second fiddle to his astounding ability to craft a personal story and envelop it in song," while American Songwriter gave it 4/5 stars, calling it "pure, unaffected and raw" and praising his "skewed, dry, self-effacing humor." Crooked Love (2018) On May 18, Reilly released "Crooked Love." Reilly told The Current, "I don't have an iron-clad mind, but I remember people, you know. Who they are and what they're about. And then I steal their souls and stories. I act like I like them. And then I suck everything I can out of them." Style and influences Stated guitarist Tom Morello in June 2015, "In my view, he's one of the best American songwriters of the last 10 years, both in delivery and lyrics. It's, like, part Springsteen, part Replacements. According to Mario Mesquita Borges of Allmusic, "Reilly has followed a trail separate from most of today's singer/songwriters -- unlike other such artists, Reilly prefers the harshness of intrepid rocking riffs, sustained by ingenious melodies and exalting words." Personal life Reilly continues to live in his hometown of Libertyville with his family.
