We recently discovered a new digital post of "Climbing the Stairway to Heaven," one of four songs on a 1961 Reedy 45 rpm recording (SEP 179) on the Starday label. The artist credit is listed as "John Reedy and The Stone Mt. Trio," but the record features Frances Reedy on vocals. The video title lists her name as it is commonly misspelled as "Francis Reedy," which is likely why we did not come across it sooner.
This record is included on the Reedy's commercial discography and was archived and digitized in the Berea College Special Collections and Archives as part of our Appalachian Sound Archives Fellowship in 2009. Thanks to Mister Honky Tonk for sharing this recording, which we've also added to our "Rebel Reedy Radio" playlist on YouTube.
