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
gtgrecords.net---
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)
