Cash next to barn

Part two of Colin’s talk with Mark Stielper, an authority on Johnny Cash and the Cash family history. Episode two begins with a discussion of the talented and sometimes controversial June Carter Cash. And in the intro, Colin remembers Bob Wootton, who died on Sunday at the age of 75. Bob was Cash’s guitarist for 30 years and the keeper of the essential “boom chicka boom” sound after the death of Luther Perkins.
