5.0 out of 5 stars Really great album, October 15, 1999

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.

I mainly got this cd because I wanted the songs "I Collect Hearts" and "Mr. Winchester's Gun". It also, has a few other popular songs by other people. Only, reason I gave this four out of five is because it was suppose to get to me sooner, but it was shipped from England. Sooo, I had to wait several more weeks for this cd. For all of you that haven't heard of this singer he has a really deep voice and he was Billy's father from Gremlins.
