6 Tommy Plural arrangements / Produced by Adam Aymor
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.

3. Never Worry (Tommy McCord)
4. Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down (Traditional)
