	Hoyt Axton - Music Downloads - Online
		Axton was born March 25, 1938 in Duncan, OK, the son of a naval officer and his English teacher wife.
		Axton resurfaced in 1963 with Thunder 'N Lightnin', followed later that year by Saturday's Child; around that same time one of his best friends suffered a fatal drug overdose, inspiring his song "The Pusher," a hit for the rock band Steppenwolf subsequently included on the soundtrack to the film Easy Rider.
		The LP was Axton's last major new release, however, and in 1996 he suffered a stroke; his health continued to decline, and after a series of heart attacks he died October 26, 1999 at the age of 61.

		WITH A MIX of corn and sweet sentiment, more than a little country and a lot of rock, Axton easily pleased a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 for his early evening show at the Oregon State Fair yesterday.
		Axton, who said he got about 18 hours at home last month, has been on the road with his five-member band and two back-up singers since March.
		Axton worked over his favorites, from the joking refrain of "Bony Fingers" through an inevitable "Orange Blossom Special" to a jump-and-shout "Joy to the World." It was a "greatest hits" list of one of folk and country's most prolific singers.

	Southbound - Hoyt Axton - Music Reviews
		By the time of this, his 13th and a relatively unlucky album, Hoyt Axton's talent was not always as strong a force as his own firm belief in the Axton legend: a genius songwriting artist with his own niche, not quite country, not quite rock, not quite pop.
		Sometimes the songs themselves actually may have had the potential to come across much better than they do due to the party-hearty studio atmosphere, in which all manner of celebrity interface and networking seems to have been going on.
		There is the warbling of Linda Ronstadt as well as that of Bob Lind, the one-hit wonder behind "Elusive Butterfly." The thoughtful Axton is on to some truths and gets his musicians into worthwhile grooves on a few less of the tracks than most listeners will find satisfactory.
