Hoyt really was not a country singer. He was a folk singer, studied civil war songs, was a balladeer, wrote rock, wrote pop, and was a major humorist as well as an actor. County musician is the least of the titles I would give him. Anyone who wrote The Pusher and Joy to the World is not just a 'country' singer. Can you tell I adore Hoyt. As you can see, I use the present tense. He will always live in lives of people who love music. (He was also larger than life!)
It doesn't matter what you call the type of music he sang or wrote. He was one of the best. I like to think he is with the other country greats that we have lost-playing and singing and laughing in that "Grand Ole' Opry" in the sky.
Hoyt was my Daddy's cousin. Miss you! His Mom wrote Heartbreak Hotel. Hoyt's Dad cauld sing as well. Miss you all. I got the Bullfrog pin he wore on his motorcycle jacket! He starred in SMOKEY, GREMLINS & BLACK STALLION. He made apearences on Bonanza & Gunsmoke. Wrote GOD DAMN THE PUSHERMAN, JOY TO THE WORLD and lots of great songs. See you on the Other side! 💙
There's a group, Fans of Hoyt on Facebook. facebook.com/groups/4950649657/?multi_permalinks=10157453711279658%2C10157453625874658¬if_id=1553870657443957¬if_t=group_activity
So underrated it makes me sick! This guy was great!! I remember seeing him every time I turned around growing up. Whether it be Bonanza, WKRP In Cincinnati, Dukes of Hazzard, Christmas Comes To Willow Creek, which I watch every xmas season. Gremlins, Diff'rent Strokes, TNN, Crook & Chase, Farm Aid, everywhere! Saw him on everything lol. Great actor, great songwriter, great singer. Long Live Hoyt Axton!
"He snorted his coke through a century note and swore Boone would die". Hoyt was a class act, a great story teller like Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark & Tom T. Hall.
If you know of anyone interested in a vintage Hoyt Axton belt buckle have them email me at marydelaneymusic@gmail.com and I will send you a photograph. It's the real deal. It's been sitting in my sock drawer forever! I haven't worn it in years so now I'm wondering if someone might like it.
People keep asking if I am the singer in this video with Hoyt and the answer is NO. I sang on a couple of Hoyt's albums but I never toured with him. I know the redheaded girl is one of my favorite singers, Katy Moffatt. I don't know the other ladies but they sure are good, as was my old buddy Hoyt. Sure do miss that bad ass boy.
Since my brother passed back in 2012 I haven't had anyone to talk country music with, but your mentioning of Katy Moffat brought back memories. Hadn't heard that name in years. Thank you, Ms. Davies, for the memory jog. Miss the days when he was here, we were young, and country music seemed like a secret language only the coolest of people knew.
Yup... remember the song he wrote for that episode? It became one of my favorites. "I'm a jealous man" -- He serenaded Jennifer, but it was aimed at Johhny Fever.
Lol,when she got Johnny to pretend to be her husband! I laughed so hard when he sang you've got a knife,I've got a gun,come on boy,were gonna have a little fun! Leave her alone! Lol,Johnny was so freaked! I read just the other day that he also wrote Three Dog Night's hit Joy To The World.Amazing talent he was. RIP Hoyt Axton.
I had the pleasure of meeting Hoyt during the C.M. Russell Art Auction one year when he was the honored guest. We got to trading jokes every time I'd see him and I found him to be one of the most genuine, honest persons I'd ever met who had a public profile like he did. It was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life.
I think my favorite my Hoyt Acton. A great performer and an underrated song writer. I'm sure he wrote more hits than he performed. Is missed by me and so many of my generation.
my grandma's name was della she passed away 17 yrs ago on the day my son was born she wanted to hold him but she never got that chance , God. gives us miracles in our lives
I was lucky enough to see him at an outdoor concert in the 70s. I was quite young. I remember that he didn't need a microphone or a sound system. What a voice he had in person.
No, it was a small out of the way niteclub. No mike or sound system either. I did see Willie & Waylon @ Rec Rocks. Their opening act was a " little unknown " Bobby Bare. WOW!!!
This was my jam as a kid: Terry Wogan played it on his morning radio show: I lapped it up, and I have never forgotten the words, and I absolutely love it 😀 ❤️
This is my favorite of his songs. I had the unique experience of meeting his mother, May Axton, at a benefit show here in Nashville many years ago. I was also friends with John Hartford, and his wife Marie introduced us at a benefit show, and I said "You helped write "Heartbreak Hotel", and you're Hoyt Axton's mom! It's a pleasure to meet you." She got a real kick out of that, especially when I told her that "Della And The Dealer" was my favorite of her son's songs. Later on, after she left, Marie said "May wanted me to tell you that she really enjoyed meeting you." I guess she didn't get recognized in public that often, and I think it surprised her that I was familiar with some of Hoyt's other songs. A very gracious lady, and fun to talk to!
You ought to hear him playing and singing alone on episode 19 of season 1 of WKRP! He could bring the house down without anyone accompanying him! He was great on the episode!
Towards the end of the WKRP show when he was singing as if he was in a recording studio with headphones on the WKRP crew was behind the glass rocking out, especially Jennifer.
I had the pleasure of meeting Hoyt at his home in North Lake Tahoe in 1981. Nice man. Great home with recording studio. He gave me a cassette with some of his songs. Della and the Dealer was one of my favorites on it. I wore that tape out !
Here in UK we had a DJ in 1970s &1980s called Terry Wogan who did the morning show through to 10am. He would occasionally pick slightly of the wall songs & this was one. Hoyt's name & voice has always stuck in my memory, the lyrics are also memorable.
I named my cat kalamazo because of this song its a special part of my life because my dad loved it and I met my husband playing a lyrics game he was the only person my age who knew the song , a lot of great memories ,
It never will. This politically correct world just won't allow it. Can you imagine what would happen these days as that line about snorting coke hits the airwaves?
@@ericbrown4761 That's better than what the Rap singers do... they use a lot of "politically incorrect" words.. and concepts too. But they can't actually perform music.
I haven't read other's comments to know if anyone else knew this, but Della & the Dealer are really the names of his mother's beloved POODLES. He wrote this song for her. I've got an adorable photo of my late father holding Della & the Dealer at Mae's house.
Saw this show live at Wembley, Axton put on a great set and gave the the crowd Della early possibly the 2nd song that night. Great to find this on UA-cam ...
Hoyt Axton was asked if he ever smoked Marijuana. It was a radio interview, early 70’s. He said "after some heavy drinking, ten belly dancers in red tennis shoes held me down and blew smoke in my face, so maybe so."
This is real country music and the man singing it was one of country's best ever I put him with George jones my dad was a truck driver I grew up on his music and still love it to this day I don't won't none of this new stuff they have and don't no why people say you have tone sexy and beautiful now to make it in singing not seen anything yet that even compares to the old country
I was watching an old episode of Hee Haw the other night and Hoyt Axton was guest starring. Suddenly I remembered his appearance on WKRP and looked for this song. Hadn't heard it in years but it is as good, maybe better than I remember!!
Don't know how I found this but I did and have watched it alot of times. I'm a banjo and guitar picker and know the difference between so so taent and great talent. This guy had it going on. Wish he were still with us.
In your earlier years, you had the edge. It that not matter, people did not understand you. For what it worth, I did, a humble guy from Sweden. I know I am not alone, but still, you were truly great! R.I.P. Hoyt!
I was young and got the 'recorder",that round black disk, as it used to be called, from the British Council in Mombasa...in 1973 and listened to all of his songs like...singing Joy to the world round, etc...thank you Mr Bates
Record. NON-compact disk! came originally in 78 rpm, imprinted on ceramic, then 33 1/3 and 45's on vinyl. There were a few 16 RPM LP's (Long play) as well as a few 33 1/3 "short play" but singles were (first) on 78's, then 45's for the most part, and the vinyl albums were 33 1/3.
In 1979 when this song came out, I was 10 yrs old & we were living in Gordon Alabama...about 20 miles south of Dothan Alabama. It was my mine & my dad's favorite song. We used to sing it together every time it came on 95.5 FM WTVY. I can remember riding around Houston Co Alabama on those old country back roads in my dad's old white 1972 Chevy C/10, LWB, 3spd on the column, no p/s, no a/c & both windows rolled down. Great song...even better memories!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
What a great song! I found this last night and have played it numerous times since. When I came to Kansas City to work for the FAA in July 1978 this was the hottest song played by David Lawrence, disk jockey on WDAF 61 Country. Thanks for posting this. It has been great reading all the post from the many fans that Hoyt Axton has. My other favorite singer died young also, Hank Williams Sr.
All this praise for Hoyt and not one word about his mother Mae. Mae Axton wrote almost every song Elvis Presley recorded. They called her Momma Mae Axton.
Hoyt's wifes parents live next door to me and I had the pleasure of sitting down to dinner one evening with him. He was a great guy and had lots of cool stories.
Folk singer
Never had the recognition he deserved
Hoyt Axton was better than anything of the current! Sad that Hoyt passed.
How old are you?
@@TheKitchenerLeslie Old enough
Hoyt will live forever on UA-cam. Thank goodness. He was never appreciated the way he should have been.
True, he seems to have missed the really big country time...
He lived his life the way he wanted! Don’t care how he died (overdose). He died happy and his music will live on!
@@5mellowpizza he always said he never cared how popular he would become he just loved music
Hoyt Acton is an unknown treasure of country music
Of ALL genres. Long may he live in all of our hearts and memories
He was before his time.
Hoyt really was not a country singer. He was a folk singer, studied civil war songs, was a balladeer, wrote rock, wrote pop, and was a major humorist as well as an actor.

Don't forget "Don't give a damn 'bout a Greenback Dollar, spend it fast as I can..."
My mom and dad saw him in concert years ago.
It doesn't matter what you call the type of music he sang or wrote. He was one of the best. I like to think he is with the other country greats that we have lost-playing and singing and laughing in that "Grand Ole' Opry" in the sky.
Very well said.
Amen !

Legend!
I recognize your last name Bonnie. Mae Boren Axton was his Mom’s name. Great heritage.
First heard this song on an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati
"He snorted his coke through a century note and swore Boone would die". Hoyt was a class act, a great story teller like Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark & Tom T. Hall.
Hot a t
Hoyt axon is up there with the best overlooked a lot but listen to the words that's what it's all about

Ms. Davies I think you have one of the most beautiful voices I have heard.
@@wheelhossdude Thanks for the kind words. It's always nice at my age (73) to hear someone say they remember me. Take care and stay safe. Cheers, Gail
@@flemingmp Hi Mary, I'm glad my music turned you on to country. It was a fun time.
Hoyt Axton back in the old days of real music.
I miss real country music.... Love this song still....one of the best!
probably one of the BEST voices in Country LOVE this man his voice sends shivers down my spine
Hello Teddyboy
It is humanly impossible to tire of that beautiful voice. What great lyrics!!
many many memories of Hoyt from the 70;s he was a Gentle Giant R.I.P. Old Friend
Remember him as Jennifer's old flame on "WKRP IN CINCINNATI?" LOVE Hoyt Axton!!!
The Dealer had a knife, the dog had a gun, and the cat had a shot of rye...
Yup... remember the song he wrote for that episode? It became one of my favorites. "I'm a jealous man" -- He serenaded Jennifer, but it was aimed at Johhny Fever.
Lol,when she got Johnny to pretend to be her husband! I laughed so hard when he sang you've got a knife,I've got a gun,come on boy,were gonna have a little fun! Leave her alone! Lol,Johnny was so freaked! I read just the other day that he also wrote Three Dog Night's hit Joy To The World.Amazing talent he was. RIP Hoyt Axton.
CandyandAngel42 he also wrote a song called the pusher, covered by Steppenwolf
Funny I just watched the episode....great TV!
I remember the lyrics to this song from when I last heard it almost 40 years ago. Long live Hoyt. Thanks for posting.
Same here, I'm 47 now and remembered lines in the song back from when it was on the radio. Great song.
You hear it once you sing it forever
Me also I even remember where I was at the first time I heard it. The funny part is I can't remember what I heard last week.
I remember when he sang the first verse on WKRP in Cincinnati a looooooong time ago.
Me too….same timeline
" and the tires got hot on the pick up truck , as down the road they flew"...........I just love this line.
"Country music is a story telling art"-Lacy J.Dalton.
Hello Joseph
Love, love, love this song. Hoyt Axton is an angel now. He knew what he was writing about. The cat had a shot of rye!
I had the pleasure of meeting Hoyt during the C.M. Russell Art Auction one year when he was the honored guest. We got to trading jokes every time I'd see him and I found him to be one of the most genuine, honest persons I'd ever met who had a public profile like he did. It was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life.
A true unsung hero of country music. It seems that his songs are more famous than the man himself. One of my greatest heroes.
I think my favorite my Hoyt Acton. A great performer and an underrated song writer. I'm sure he wrote more hits than he performed. Is missed by me and so many of my generation.
Yeah he was truly awesome. My favorite song was that one. Della and the dealer actually launched his career in music. He was the best ❤
my grandma's name was della she passed away 17 yrs ago on the day my son was born she wanted to hold him but she never got that chance , God. gives us miracles in our lives
God how I miss Hoyt and his music. RIP Buddy. We don't have your kind a music anymore
+Claude Rounds Hoyt and the other oldies would never make it now because they don't look like sexy movie stars,they just had voices and personality
Hello Claude
I was lucky enough to see him at an outdoor concert in the 70s. I was quite young. I remember that he didn't need a microphone or a sound system. What a voice he had in person.
That's really cool, so you must have heard him before he got super popular like he did by the late 70s
Maybe at Red Rocks, a natural amphitheater in Co.?
No, it was a small out of the way niteclub. No mike or sound system either. I did see Willie & Waylon @ Rec Rocks. Their opening act was a " little unknown " Bobby Bare. WOW!!!
I met Hoyt at the first I.M.S,A, race in Miami, What a great Person He was, Rest in Peace Hoyt.
This is the greatest music style of all time.
Hello Bo
This was my jam as a kid: Terry Wogan played it on his morning radio show: I lapped it up, and I have never forgotten the words, and I absolutely love it 😀 ❤️
I was just thinking the same about Wogan's show and this being played.
Class
He’s an amazing singer. I’m sad I never got to meet a legend. 😢 R.I.P. big guy. Hoyt is up in heaven playing music to god and the angels.
This is music. This guy could really sing.
Great voice. Great song. Great band. So damn cool.
Man, I'm into this song, the band, Hoyt's amazing voice and the smokin' hot backup singers!
This is my favorite of his songs. I had the unique experience of meeting his mother, May Axton, at a benefit show here in Nashville many years ago. I was also friends with John Hartford, and his wife Marie introduced us at a benefit show, and I said "You helped write "Heartbreak Hotel", and you're Hoyt Axton's mom! It's a pleasure to meet you."

It is 3/30 in 2020. Hoyt is lifting my spirits during my voluntary isolation during the pandemic. This is still one of my favorite songs,
I hope you have many more years to hear it
@@davidhelmer9124 Right back at you….
Mine too hunny
Hoyt was so good to listen to i injoy it
Did so love Hoyt's music. All the old time awesome country singers are almost gone. Such a shame.
What a talent!
Never will there be a better story telling artist than Hoyt!!
You ought to hear him playing and singing alone on episode 19 of season 1 of WKRP! He could bring the house down without anyone accompanying him! He was great on the episode!
I just heard him on that episode and had to look him up! What a voice :)

What a voice !

Loved this guy. He was smooth and cool as a coke float on a July day and I loved his music.

proper country a lot of new Artists claim to be country but they are pop! Country music needs to go back when it was country music
I agree. It has been so for many years now.
It never will. This politically correct world just won't allow it. Can you imagine what would happen these days as that line about snorting coke hits the airwaves?

a LEGEND - we love you Hoyt!
one of the best, gone to soon
R.I.P. Hoyt Axton.
I allways loved this Song and we played it long time ago at Schloss Wotersen (Germany)
with Country Connection Hamburg.
Hoyt was kin too me thru my great grandmother the late Mamie Axton Duncan. May they both REST IN PEACE...
His uncle was governor and a senator in Oklahoma and the president of OU.
Are you by chance from Duncan, Oklahoma?
What a smooth, mellow, wonderful bass voice. So many would LOVE to have a voice like this!
I wish I could hit those deeper notes. I can get that low, but it sounds shallow. or weak.....lol
I remember this from childhood here in the UK too...never remembered the line
"He snorted his coke through a century note" however!!!
I never get tired of hearing Hoyt!!
stoneyhill that only means you are a TOTAL IDIOT. & KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GREAT ICONS OF MUSIC
Saw this show live at Wembley, Axton put on a great set and gave the the crowd Della early possibly the 2nd song that night. Great to find this on UA-cam ...
love hoyt's voice. thanks for sharin this
Hello Gerry
Hoyt Axton was asked if he ever smoked Marijuana. It was a radio interview, early 70’s. He said "after some heavy drinking, ten belly dancers in red tennis shoes held me down and blew smoke in my face, so maybe so."
He did
ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.....lol
I named my cat Kalamazoo.
Stringfellow Hawke 😍 Love it!!
That's great
Me too!! I loved my lil Kala,azoo!! Thanks, Hoyt, for the cool cat name.
Amazing. So much love with rhythm. Rest In Peace Hoyt. You will never be forgotten.
I love Hoyt.A great singer and human being.
love this man
A traveling song that's a classic- about Arizona - Nice

It looks like the Country Music Festival filmed at Wembley, London. Around 1981 I think judging by the girls hairstyles.
I was watching an old episode of Hee Haw the other night and Hoyt Axton was guest starring. Suddenly I remembered his appearance on WKRP and looked for this song. Hadn't heard it in years but it is as good, maybe better than I remember!!
Bill R. Music. Johnny. Horton
Don't know how I found this but I did and have watched it alot of times. I'm a banjo and guitar picker and know the difference between so so taent and great talent. This guy had it going on. Wish he were still with us.
Love you Hoyt, I'm going to start collecting your albums.
What an awesome man. So many talents ❤
This guy was awesome; can't believe we lost him. Such talent!

Hello John
It'll be 23 years on March 26th that hoyt left this material world RIP
And there are actually people who claim to love country music but listen to the "top 40" bullshit. This is the good stuff.
In your earlier years, you had the edge. It that not matter, people did not understand you. For what it worth, I did, a humble guy from Sweden. I know I am not alone, but still, you were truly great! R.I.P. Hoyt!

Nicki LovesDogs How dare you insult a fine backup singer!
Love his voice and his groups harmony in this one!!! awesome!
I freakin love Hoyt Axton. Unfortunately, I am late to the stage and didn't find him until he was gone..... sigh...
I remember this song when I was a kid living in south phoenix az, watching Wallace and Ladmo... THANKS!
awesome song and singer. The great Gail Davis to his left with tambourine.
Hoyt Axton music will never die.
Hello Richard
One of my dreams was to be a singer with either Hoyt Axton or Jackson Browne. I envy those women!
I believe the back-up singer on the left is Cathy Smith....her life became less than enviable.
Like the song thanks for sharing 👍
He sounds like a country singer to me and Boney Fingers is song I have forgotten and by the way I'm old enough to them😊
country music is truely americas music
Hello Jeffery
thanks for uploading this..look at the happiness of the folks working with him
All this praise for Hoyt and not one word about his mother Mae. Mae Axton wrote almost every song Elvis Presley recorded. They called her Momma Mae Axton.
God Damn the Pusher!
A great country singer. And a super song.
This song brings back many memories of my wilder days.
Miss you buddy.
Hoyt's wifes parents live next door to me and I had the pleasure of sitting down to dinner one evening with him. He was a great guy and had lots of cool stories.
