Summary
In this series of six interviews, Clifford R. Murphy interviews New England country music musicians. Spanning the 1930s to the 2000s and multiple generations of musicians, these interviews provide an intimate look at country music in New England. As members of a close-knit community, the interviewees talk about each other, other influential musicians like “Hal Lone Pine” Breau, Lenny Breau, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and Wilf Carter, the various bands they were in, performing in festivals and in small-town halls, working on radio and television, the musician lifestyle, their challenges and successes, and the changes they have witnessed over the years. This series of interviews resulted in the book New England Country and Western Music: Self-reliance, Community Expression, and Regional Resistance of the New England Frontier (Brown University, 2008) by Murphy.
