"Wild Way of Living": A Brief History of The Wild Ones
This project will explore my postmemory of a rock group of the 1960s: The Wild Ones. The band was formed in 1964 and disbanded in 1967 (Alden Interview 1). They are arguably most well known for being the first to record the famous Chip Taylor song "Wild Thing" (Tricarico Interview 2). One of the band's albums, "The Arthur Sound,"  hit 149 on the US Billboard 200 in 1965 (Allmusic).
