Johnny Cash is Still in the Air

This mini ep takes a look at music royalty Col Joye and the Joy
Boys and the time they had to hold the attention of an 8000
strong crowd waiting for Johnny Cash to arrive at the stadium.
The band was at the very start of rock n roll in Australia and
they are true pioneers. In this era, Col Joy and the Joye Boys
popularity and chart success is only rivalled by that of Johnny
O’Keefe and the Dee Jays. They also hold the distinction being
the first Australian act to have a Number 1 record with Bye Bye
Baby. You can hear more from Col in our episode on Bye Bye Baby
which is episode 5 – there is also another mini ep on the time
Col was playing for our troops at the Vietnam War, when suddenly
he found himself at the Battle of Long Tan.
