Spin of the Wheel has some of Hoyt's best material on it. I can listen to this CD over and over and never get tired of it. Pistol Packin' Mama isn't as good, but it too has some good songs on it. Because this is a double album, it's really a bargain!

Another great Hoyt Axton double re-release that you don't want to miss. "Pistol Packin' Mama" will keep you awake and poppin' your fingers. "Spin of the Wheel" was Hoyt's last album, it contains songs you might not know, but sure will enjoy! Try "Mr Winchester's Gun" for clever word play and a great story line! This is another super CD for the long haul; you won't get tired of this one either! Buy it while you can before it's gone.

Excellent CD. I've been trying to find Pistol Packin' Mama to replace a cassette tape I have that's about worn out. My kids grew up listening to it in the car and they especially loved Fearless the Wonder Dog, which I remember hearing was a song that Hoyt Axton wrote when his long-time and faithful dog died. It's like Hoyt to write a happy, upbeat song at a time like that. Hoyt was one of the great songwriters and many songs that are linked to specific singers, even in different genres, were written by Hoyt and it's great to hear him perform them.
