We just received this message:

---Hello from Michigan, USA!

I recently completed and released a new EP with my band Wild Honey Collective, a heavily Byrds/Burritos/Gene Clark etc inspired project, and it features our rendition of “Wasn’t Born To Follow”. Some very McGuinn inspired 12 string electric is a key part of every arrangement as well as heavily Sneaky Pete influenced pedal steel.

https://open.spotify.com/album/2Ju1GcxhPNMGyod8C8gH3M?si=4r86uAAXSJOhqB8v0yASgA

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_koJy-SHSp1FKemJ9-4rwtaIXSyuRHOnzI&si=Fz5w3gJblkD3PisX 

https://gtgrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wilderhoney

The band in general patterns our shows after the Clarence White era Byrds and the FBB’s “Last Of The Red Hot Burritos” by playing original songs and traditional country material, followed by an old time/bluegrass acoustic segment, and then a jammier, heavier country rock set to finish things out.

Best,

Tommy McCord

Lifted from From Bandcamp:

 

--- Over a handful of quick (mostly mid-afternoon) jam sessions between October 2023 and January 2024, Tommy and Adam (aka "Wilderhoney", far out, man) of the Wild Honey Collective, assisted by Wild Honey Drum Section Leader Joel Kuiper, knocked out these 6 songs in Adam's basement. During two informal winter hangouts, vocal cameos were added by Wild Honey Most Valuable Vocalist Danielle Gyger and A Rueful Noise singers Nicholas Merz and Jennifer Toms. Thus, Wilderhoney EP 2024: 2 traditional folk songs (filtered through Clarence White, Red Rhodes, John Jorgenson, Jerry Garcia, Gene Clark, Sierra Ferrell), a song by friend and sometime collaborator Jeremy Porter, an original song, and songs originally recorded by The Byrds and Sonic Youth.

1. John Henry (Traditional)
2. Ain't My House Anymore (Jeremy Porter/One To Give Music)
3. Never Worry (Tommy McCord)
4. Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down (Traditional)
5. Wasn't Born To Follow (Goffin-King/Screen Gems-EMI Music)
6. The Diamond Sea (Gordon-Moore-Ranaldo-Shelley/Sonik Tooth Music)

Tommy Plural-McCord - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, 12 String Guitar, Bass, Harmonica, Arrangements
Adam Aymor - Pedal Steel Guitar, Dobro, Keyboards, Production, Engineering/Mixing
Joel Kuiper - Drums
Danielle Gyger - Harmony Vocals (2, 5)
Nicholas Merz - Harmony Vocals (3, 4, 5)
Jennifer Toms - Harmony Vocals (3, 5)

Recorded by Adam at Owosscilation, October 2023-January 2024

Mark Teehan has comprehensively researched The Byrds' "Eight Miles High" single's performance on the local music surveys to determine the role that The Gavin Report might have played in its national charting.

Mark is a former accredited historian and is currently a research analyst. His exhaustive analysis of the spread in Top 40 radio airplay of Bob Dylan's transformative "Like A Rolling Stone" revealed how it became a Number One smash hit in the U.S., and was published in Isis (#216). In addition, his six Kinks charting essays were posted on kindakinks.net.
