80s Glamsters Jetboy Cover Johnny Cash

Does anyone remember the 80s Glam hard rockers Jetboy? I sure do. I always dug their mixture of glam and punk aesthetics (in the Kix/Wrathchild vein). Nowadays — a little older and a little less glam — the band still does their thing live. They still got it.

They are also releasing a Johnny Cash cover of Folsom Prison Blues to radio stations today thru a unique service called radiosubmit.com. The site is a good way for DJs to spread the word. It’s a hard song to cover and Jetboy does a good job of it. A sample of it live can be viewed below:

In the meantime, Jetboy’s latest release is a DVD/CD combo called The Glam Years. It’s a live 1986 L.A. Whisky a Go-Go concert on DVD and a 21 best of track selection of CD. You can get 25% off at the band’s MySpace page at www.myspace.com/jetboyrocks.
