Description:
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. Track Listing Less Than The Song (1973):Sweet Misery/Less Than The Song/Sweet Fantasy/Days Are Short/Mary Makes Magic/Peacemaker/Nothin To Lose/Oklahoma Song/Mexico City Hangover/Hungry Man/Somebody Turned On The Light/Blue Prelude.
