Wild Mountain Thyme
Last week in rural Anglesey the tiny cottage we rented inspired many sing-songs and late Sunday night we recorded Wild Mountain Thyme in order to satisfy the overwhelming worldwide public demand for more “Mitch & Mickey” duetting and way less Sid on clawhammer banjo.
I first heard this grand tune off the Byrds’ Fifth Dimension LP and was reminded of its greatness when I heard Peter Case sing it so well in 2019. Peter’s second solo album was Blue Guitar and dig what I am playing here 👀
Anyway this is for all the folk singers out there, all the families, and all the 🐶 dog lovers. Will ye go, Lassie, go? Alas, the same question is never asked of Old Shep or Rin Tin Tin.
