Heartbreak Hotel & Other Favorites [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

The celebrated film and television actor and American country music singer/songwriter Hoyt Axton started out as a folksinger in the early 1960' s and blossomed into one of America's most engaging country music songwriters and performers, with hits of his own performances and other artists covering his well crafted songs. Among his most popular compositions include "Joy to the World," the 1971 #1 hit for Three Dog Night; "The Pusher," covered by Steppenwolf on their debut album in 1968 and on the "Easy Rider" soundtrack in 1969; "The No-No Song," a hit for Ringo Starr in 1975 - and, blessed with a powerful voice, his own performances of his songs became hits as well: 1974' s "Boney Fingers," 1979' s "Delia And the Dealer" and many more. Presented here is Hoyt performing his own songs in his trademark earthy style, including all the major hits. All selections newly re-mastered.
