Editorial Reviews

The late, great HOYT AXTON remains a country, pop and folk music icon, and Raven presents for the first time on one indispensable CD two of his finest ever albums: Southbound (1975) and Fearless (1976). Best known as a hit songwriter ('Joy to the World', 'The Pusher', 'No No Song', 'Never Been to Spain' etc), Axton signed to A&M Records in 1972 for a string of high quality albums. Following Less than the Song (1973) and Life Machine (1974), Axton emerged with his two best-selling albums in Southbound (US Country #27) and Fearless (US Country #26). Southbound yielded the Country hits 'Nashville' and 'Lion in the Winter' (featuring Linda Ronstadt on guest vocals) and found Axton in a rowdy mood with tracks like 'Roll Your Own', 'Whiskey', 'Speed Trap' and his own version of 'No No Song'. With superb quality audio and detailed liner notes this CD is an indispensable addition to his enduring catalog.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Hoyt Axton, February 11, 2009

This review is from: Southbound / Fearless (Audio CD)

I had these two albums back in the 70's and I've been looking for them on CD forever. This is two of my favorite Hoyt Axton albums. Hoyt was a great songwriter and has the extensive catalog to prove it. He has many other great albums too but these two were my favorite. They are on the AM Years collection but it is hard to find and expensive if you do. Do yourself a favor and get turned on to Hoyt Axton.

Loves this compilation! Two of my favorite albums on the same CD. Hoyt Axton, singer, songwriter, movie and TV star, Lives on. The man comes from nashville royalty, his mom Mae wrote Heartbreak Hotel for elvis. and his body of work eclipsed hers. This CD was one of those where trying to pick a favorite song is impossible. I recommend this CD most highly. Tom
