The larger than life image of the bear of a man that was Hoyt Axton filled many roles in life: artist, actor, athlete, philospher, but above all, storyteller and songwriter. The son of Mae Axton (who co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel") wrote his own classics: "Greenback Dollar", "Joy To The World", "Snowblind Friend", "The Pusher", "Never Been To Spain", "The No No Song", "Boney Fingers", "Della & The Dealer" and "When The Morning Comes". All of these and more are included in this long-overdue, 25-track, 78-minute anthology covering almost four full decades of recording, culled from his stays with 20th Century, Columbia, Jeremiah, Capitol, A&M, MCA etc. Truly the Very Best of Hoyt Axton.
