There is no thread about Hoyt Axton on ILM. He is one of my top five (maybe top three) country music singers. Roger McGuinn appears on his first LP, "...The Balladeer." "Greenback Dollar." "Gypsey Woman" the ready availability and low cost of the VeeJay issues of some of his most necessary work.
DISCUSS.

Bony Fingers is a great song. Also, he was the dad in Gremlins.

he wrote the best drug songs. his voice kinda bugs me sometimes though. that growl...i dunno, that's just a personal preference thing. he's definitely cool. and one of the best album covers ever is:

Yes, he is great. I thought I had started a thread about him at one point, but I must have imagined it. I just have a couple of LP's and a 45. I think they both came out on A&M?

My family's record collection included My Griffin is Gone. Don't remember playing it but would wonder about the title.

I picked up five of this guy's records silly cheap from a charity shop last year. Really strong songwriter. I still want to get my hands on My Griffin Is Gone too - I must get around to that one
