Wylie & The Wild West's latest CD was recorded during a live concert at the Warehouse Theatre in Colorado Springs, Colo. This project is Wylie & The Wild West at their best, featuring the rock-solid band that has toured the world with Wylie: Ray Doyle on guitar, baritone & mando-guitar; Scot Wilburn on guitar, straight steel & fiddle; Rick Bryceson  on drums.

This new album is characteristic of Wylie & The Wild West’s sometimes rollicking, sometimes graceful, always entertaining live performance.

"A little jump-and-kick with a touch of mellow, down easy. We made a point of including a good jag of our acoustic material so I thought Unwired would be an appropriate title," says Wylie. "We always have these magical nights at the Warehouse, so we thought we’d try to capture one on tape."

The crowd and band come together one more time for a spectacular summer evening of great tunes and good vibes at the intimate venue.

"Wylie makes his songs breathe in the moment - no mere museum piece or nostalgia trip," states Itunes Review.

Unwired proves the point.

This collection of songs is a must for the avid Wylie-head or the newbe fan who want a good cross section of the music that has made the band popular across the nation.

What folks are saying about Unwired

Here is one of two so-called "unplugged" CDs received in the same mailing from Western Jubilee Recording in Colorado Springs. One was Michael Martin Murphey's and the other was a new live recording from Wylie & The Wild West entitled "Unwired!" And in this case the term has two different meanings, if not a third!

We certainly don't want to give anyone the impression that Wylie and crew have totally forsaken their customary beat-driven spizz. It's just that on this one the carbonation is applied judiciously. Wylie's sensitive and expressive takes of classics such as "Goodbye Old Paint," "Cowpoke," "Cattle Call" and "America The Beautiful" share the stage with some of his and Paul Zarzyski's rambunctious collaborations such as "Rodeo To The Bone," "Double Wild" and "Ain't No Life After Rodeo." Intermixed are Wylie ballads that include "Ridin' The High Line," "I Get High," and "Where Horses Are Heroes." His and Joel Nelson's "Equus Caballus" is here, and to make sure you're paying attention...so are Buddy Holly's "Everyday" and the trucker fave "Girl On The Billboard."

For those who got pelted with rock from their last CD, this one from Wylie & The Wild West is toned down but hardly dead!
