HIGHS IN THE MID-SIXTIES, VOLUME 9
Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 9 (subtitled Ohio) is a compilation album in the Highs in the Mid-Sixties series, featuring recordings that were released in Ohio. Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 21 is a later volume in the series that features bands from this state. (More from Wikipedia)
Phil Keaggy is another pioneer in CCM that I have some familiarity with. He was in a 1960’s garage rock band from Youngstown, Ohio called the Squires and released a single called “Batmobile” that is included on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 9. In 1968, he was a co-founder of Glass Harp, a band that became one of the most popular in Northeast Ohio and is now regarded as one of the earliest of the “jam rock” bands.
