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.
