Re: [dcab-l] "Regional hits"

What A Girl Can't Do by the Hangmen/Tom Guernsey (and the Reekers - but that's a long story) went higher on the charts than the Beatles in the DC/Baltimore market in the day

Hard Lesson to Learn by Joe Triplett and Peter Blachly of Claude Jones was later recorded by Rod Stewart and enjoyed some success

Sykesville was on the EP that Claude Jones released - you can still find copies of it on eBay - e.g.

I want to pick the collective brain of this group. In the days before radio was clearchannelized (yes a verb) something called a regional or local hit was a common thing. I am assembling a list of greater DC area regional hits - all genders. I only have a few countryish tunes in the list and want to know of others. I have Jimmy Dean Bumming Around and Seldom Scene City of New Orleans. I cannot tell if Claude Jones Sykesville was ever actually released in its early days. Roslyn Mountain Boys, Hangmen, Lawrence and the Arabians, you get the idea. Any songs pop up?
