New CD by Bill Phelan - heavily Byrds-influenced music

Bill Phelan from Maryland, USA has a new CD out, an album of 17 original songs, titled That Photograph. 

It is influenced by The Byrds and the music of their heyday, so there are guitars and harmonies.  

The album has been described as "an East Coast encapsulation of Laurel Canyon cool".

The album is listed on Bandcamp at

https://billphelan.bandcamp.com/album/that-photograph

The songs are also on YouTube (under his name) and are available for streaming on pretty much every music streaming service.

From the Folkden:

"This is a rare recording of me playing with Bobby Darin and his band at the Coconut Grove nightclub in Hollywood circa 1963. I’m playing my Vega 5-string banjo and singing harmony."

Original Byrds Backstage Movie

 

Here’s an interesting silent movie of the original 5 men Byrds rehearsing and waiting backstage before appearing on US TV in 1966.

And yet another Gene Clark Tribute CD, released in November 2023.

We’ve just learned of yet another Gene Clark Tribute CD, released in November 2023.

Track 10 is a “Tribute to Gene Clark” song written by Pete Mancini.

 

1 Changing Heart 2:46

2 Gypsy Rider 4:36

3 Hear The Wind 2:56

4 Train Leaves Here This Morning 3:51

5 She Don't Care About Time 2:30

7 Out On The Side 2:51

9 Full Circle 2:38

10 Silent Troubadour 3:16

You might wonder…

You might wonder…

What a Bob Dylan 7” 45 rpm single with picture sleeve from The Netherlands is doing here…

Well, it’s a mispressing.

Tracks actually played on the first pressing are “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better “ and “All I Really Want To Do” by The Byrds.

 Re-pressings were the Bob Dylan tracks.

Open your wallets; it’s yours for 600 euros on eBay…

New Byrds-influenced album by Wild Honey Collective

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)

Eight Miles High - An Essay By Mark Teehan

 

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.
