"Down In The Boondocks" #9 8/28/1965

The first Top 10 hit for Billy Joe Royal. He came out of the same Georgia music scene that produced Tommy Roe, Ray Stevens, the Classics IV and eventually the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Billy Joe succeeded in country music in the 80's, even though his first big hit in that genre, "Burned Like A Rocket," has the misfortune of making its chart run during the Challenger space shuttle disaster.
