BY MICHAEL CHAIKEN REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN 6 With his burly physique, fulsome beard and an art gallery full of tattoos running up and down his arms (and even across his face), youâd be forgiven if you thought Rag ânâ Bone Man (born Rory Charles Graham) led a metal band. But then when he opens his mouth, and your ears are filled with a sweet soulful sound, you realize that appearances can be misleading. ASSOCIATED PRESS British singer Rag ânâ Bone Man has a new album, âLife by Misadventure.â Rag ânâ Bone Man currently is the hottest thing in the U.K. His latest album âLife by Misadventureâ reached no. 1 on the charts overseas in just its first week on sale (his second chart-topper). And, although Rag ânâ Bone Man has caught little traction in the states, with his latest, he demonstrates he has all the talent he needs to break it big from Connecticut to California.
