Hoyt Axton American Originals Release Date: 1993 01 18 Running Time: 66:40 Label: Capitol Records Part of an odd, short-lived reissued series launched by Capitol in the early '90s, American Originals consists of two 1971 albums, Joy to the World and Country Anthem, plus one previously unreleased track. This period was a transitional one between Axton's uneven folk-rock of the '60s and his country hits of the mid-'70s, but on these recordings, Axton found the voice that would serve him throughout the rest of his career. Axton's own versions of "The Pusher," "Never Been to Spain" and "Joy to the World," hits he wrote for Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night, are here. Other highlights include the wryly humorous "Have a Nice Day," and "Thomas Hall," an excellent folk ballad.
