The Master MP3 Monkey, takes to the streams with an ecclectic musical stew of Indie and Alternative Artists from around the Planet. Lightly spiced with some old school music, interviews, commentary, and of course just some simple fun. All served on a recycled paper plate.
Hoyt Wayne Axton was an American country music singer and songwriter, and a film and television actor. He was born in Duncan, Olahoma and was raised in Comanche. His mother, Mae Boren Axton, had her own spot in popular culture history and co-wrote the classic Rock & Roll song "Heartbreak Hotel", which became the first major hit for Elvis Presley.
Some of Hoyt’s own songs were also later recorded by Elvis. In the early 1960s he released his first folk album titled The Balladeer (recorded at the legendary Troubadour), which included his song Greenback Dollar, a 1963 hit for The Kingston Trio. Axton released numerous albums well into the 1980s, changing somewhat with the times but always retaining an honest, down-home and fairly "country" approach to his music.
His most lasting contributions were songs made famous by others: "Never Been to Spain" (Three Dog Night), the previously mentioned "Greenback Dollar" (Kingston Trio), "The Pusher" (Steppenwolf), and "No-No Song" (Ringo Starr) and for an array of others, including Joan Baez, John Denver, and Waylon Jennings. Axton also sang a couple of notable duets with Linda Ronstadt, including Lion in Winter and When the Morning Comes (a top 40 country hit). His most popular and signature song, "Joy to the World" (Three Dog Night), was No. 1 on the charts for six straight weeks in 1971, making it the top hit of the year.
Borrowing a term from Jim Bachmann from the Daytime Drinkers out of Gilbert, Arizona much is "Owed To Hoyt" for the musical contributions he made throughout his career.
Joining me during the show will be Matthew Axton, Hoyt’s son and one of his biggest fans. Matt is a roo
