Unwired
Released:  November 2009

Wylie & The Wild West's latest release was recorded during a live performance at the Warehouse Theatre in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This new project is Wylie & The Wild West at their best and features 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.

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!
