Here's Clyde Joy singing "Echoes from the Hills" as recorded by Al Hawkes at
Event Records, Westbrook, Maine, 1957. Joy, who built the Circle 9 Ranch
in New Hampshire, pioneered the New England country sound and continued
to perform at the annual Deerfield Fair until three years before his
death at age 92. Our next installment of North Country will pick up the
story of Event Records and its impact on a regional musical style.
