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: Less Than The Song (1973) and Life Machine (1974). 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. Less Than The Song features a set of beguiling songs with just his acoustic guitar and gravely baritone to the fore over subtle instrumentation. On the other hand, Life Machine literally leaps out of the speakers with energetic takes on 'Maybelline' and 'That's All Right' and also produced his first solo hits in an engaging duet with Linda Ronstadt 'When the Morning Comes' and 'Boney Fingers'. 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 catalogue.
