DVR ALERT: RWH On Conan!

Not many men can get away with wearing a scarf most of the time. And, not many people at all can get away with that “hey, I just got outta bed and haven’t run a comb thru my hair in days” look. Believe me, I try. My hair is a disheveled rat’s nest most of the time. I get weird looks. But then again, I’m not near as cool as Ray Wylie Hubbard! The Wylie Lama is so damn cool that he could go around wearing a pink tutu and fishnet stockings and no one would think any different. When you are THAT cool, you do what you want. But, enough about his looks. Ray Wylie is one of the most talented songwriters that I think I’ve ever come in contact with. He’s eccentric, peculiar, a little odd…and maybe that’s why he’s one of my idols. I always tend to hang with the person who colors outside the lines and is not afraid to do so. As a fan of even his earliest work to his most recent, he has never let me down. His latest album The Ruffian’s Misfortune is a constant in my life right now. I keep saying I’m gonna write an album review on it for anyone who cares what I think, but everytime I sit down to do so…I discover something else about the album that I love and decide to start all over. Lucky for us, we will get a taste of that album when Ray Wylie performs “Stone Blind Horses” on the Conan O’Brien show this coming Tuesday night! So stay up late kids, set your DVRs and get ready for some true talent on your Tuesday night! I just wonder if Conan knows how lucky he is!
