Jayne joined her good friend and fellow trucking music artist, Tony Justice, on The Road Show with Tony Justice and Friends, one of the most listened-to podcasts in the American trucking and country music community, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and Amazon Music.
Tony and Jayne go back over ten years, first crossing paths at the Great American Truck Show in Dallas, the same event where Jayne built her early US following and established herself as one of the few international artists fully embraced by the American trucking community.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Jayne traces the full arc of her story: from gospel singer in a musical family, her mother opera-trained, her grandfather a musical theatre performer, to Sydney pub circuit performer, to Australia's Trucker Chick, to where she is now, a country girl with a rock'n'roll heart, recording her most ambitious album yet in Nashville with one of the industry's most decorated producers.
She speaks about recording her new album in Nashville with producer Marti Frederiksen, who has produced for Aerosmith and worked with Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Mick Jagger and Ozzy Osbourne, describing the collaboration as "a huge honour to work with such a legend."

Jayne also tells the origin story of Cousin Jude, the song that embedded her music in the trucker community, and explains the philosophy behind Addicted to the Diesel — written specifically to keep tired truck drivers awake, with an AC/DC flavour built in by design.
Tony and Jayne also recall the Australian tour they had planned together with Travis Sinclair, poster done, radio singles scheduled, Wrangler Australia and Kenworth in conversations about sponsorship, before COVID ended it. A reminder that the connection between these two artists runs deep, and the conversation about getting back on the road together is very much alive.
