NASHVILLE,
Tenn.
-- Conan O'Brien may have missed his calling. The once and future late night television host
laid down a scorching rockabilly-flavored set Thursday night at Jack
White's Third Man Records and plans to release a vinyl album of
the show. "This is probably the most fun I've had in show
business," a sweat-soaked O'Brien told a crowd of about 300 before
launching into a fiery finale of Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock" with White. O'Brien has been riding a bus around the country
with his band on "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television
Tour," a music- and comedy-filled variety show, while waiting for his
new hosting gig at TBS to start. He left "The Tonight Show" earlier
this year after NBC reinstalled former host Jay
Leno. O'Brien ripped through a rockin' set with his ace
band behind him and The Cocettes singing backup. White, the leader of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, introduced O'Brien as "a rockabilly
legend in the making." White's Third Man Records has a concert space as
well as reel-to-reel recording equipment. (complete article)
