Australian Country Music singer, Beccy Cole recorded "Wild Turkey" on her most recent CD,
Little Victories.

I must have missed the LJD version because I took it to be a BC original. She is known for her wicked sense of humor in her writing, and "Wild Turkey" certainly fits that mold.

I just went looking for further info, and ran across this on the Lacy J Dalton Yahoo Group:

I'm looking for the writers and publishing information about my
favorite Lacy J song, Wild Turkey. I've just recorded a version here
in Australia and need to include it on the cover. Is anyone able to
help??
Thanks
Bec

And later, after getting the information, she wrote this:

Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for the info on Wild Turkey, my album's all done now.
"Wild Turkey" is the only cover on the album, I chose it because I
have always loved Lacy J's version, have been doing it live and
always get requests for it.
Merry Christmas to all from Australia.
Beccy

Not vital information, but I thought it was interesting. True to the way fan sites work though, one I looked at credited it to Beccy Cole.

I have the Beccy Cole recording and will send it to Gene. If you are interested, Linn, drop me a line at dale8r@hotmail.com and I will send it to you also.
