Product Information

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’.

Fearless continues in the same up-tempo vein with ‘Idol of the Band’, ‘Evangelina’ and one of his biggest hits ‘Flash of Fire’ (Country #18).

Axton was able to produce a consistently engaging body of work over a long and distinguished career. With superb quality audio and detailed liner notes this CD is an indispensable addition to his enduring catalog. (ravenrecords. com. au)
