A native of Wagram, North Carolina, John Memory formed the folk-singing trio The Huntsmen in the Spring of 1962 while an undergrad at Wake Forest University. Among the conventional folk fare on their lone long-player, the Memory-penned “Peddler’s Song” was a soft-spoken masterpiece that would help establish a tone for his intimate and obscure solo LP, Along The Shore, recorded in 1967 at Greensboro’s revered and long-defunct Copeland Sound Studios.
