The Rambler finally does a music show, which is part one of two episodes. And for his first music podcast, Colin talks about Johnny Cash. Colin is writing a book about J.R. (aka the Man in Black, aka Johnny), Country Boy: The Roots of Johnny Cash, which began as a research project while the Rambler was living in Arkansas.

Colin also discusses his musical tastes growing up, his memories of Iron Maiden t-shirts, and his recent success getting out of a speeding ticket during a trip through Port Royal.
