    Wild Honey

    Written by: Brian Wilson/Mike Love
    Produced by: Beach Boys
    Recording date: Oct 1967?
    Take Number:
    Master Number: #58034
    Time: 2:40
    Lead Vocal by: Carl
    Originally appeared on: Wild Honey
    Subsequently appeared on: Summer Dreams; The Best of the Beach Boys; Good Vibrations

    Notes:
      This energetic R&B-style song features theremin, but is otherwise sparsely produced and sets the tone for the album "Wild Honey"- a back-to-basic R&B album. Described by Carl as music for Brian to "chill-out" to, it was the first album in what many regard as the second great period of Beach Boys' music- the sequence of albums from "Wild Honey" to "Surf's Up."This simpler style of music may have influenced the Beatles 1968 work.

      Great vocal from Carl, who apparently enjoyed recording this one.
