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.

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.
