The fact this man wrote such meaningful songs is amazing
I just started listening to Hoyt Axton a few days ago. How did I not know about this guy? He kicks all of the ass.
Have you heard Officer Ray?
Well put. He’s got big boots indeed.
What a songwriter please listen
What a songwriter & singer
My mom was a big Hoyt fan and she had a concert album (yes a record) of him performing this song live and I remember it being even better than this version. So good to hear this song again after so many years.
One of my all time favorite albums.
The fact that this song is not readily available kinda makes me sad and mad. It's a lovely tune
You will never hear music like the old men and women who have gone and left building.we have lost so many
Why is it when I try to give a thumbs up it won't do it?
There used to be a great live version on here of this song! I used to listen to it regularly. Sadly it has disappeared, as has the album I had of this. (It was on the album Fearless)
This song amazes me, it was well written good!
Great song
Funny, I found this because I was rereading the "silver john" books by wellman, they made a film about some of the stories called "hillbilly john, aka, who fears the devil", this song is from the movie, free on youtube, if'n ya care to look, cousin.
Really needs to be preceded by "The Penny Whistle Song" just like on the album.
So true, and I love my Hoyt
A while back I read a series of books regarding John the Balladeer aka silver John which I ended up loving. Some time later I found out about the hillbilly John movie based off it and decided to watch it. It was low budget but enjoyable 70s film and as it turns out this song was in it. It was sung by silver John’s grandpa when he tried to defy the devil.
The double record album? "Hoyt Axton Live". FANTASTIC album.
Hoyt Axton!
First heard this sung by Denver Pyle in "The Legend of Hillbilly John" (B-movie based in Manly Wade Wellman's short stories O Ugly Bird and The Desrick On Yandro)
I heard him sing this song in a Bread&Roses festival at Berkeley in the early eighties. Thanks so much for put it in YT. Greetings from Buenos Aires
i know him from bonanza.one of the best country singers
How very true.
thank you for adding this, i have been waiting!
wooow extreme good song
omg soooooo good
awesome
💯
heard this son for the first time on our pbs statiojn they were replaying a concert he gave at the okc zoo back in the early 80s glad to find it here
And another great song by Hoyt is about a a girl named HEAVEN.
You took the letters right off my key board im a willie Waylon haggard fan big time but I think hoyt might be the man !
Smokey joe this man hales from my hometown Duncan, Oklahoma. my grandson is named Hoyt
this song is badass.
Great
I first heard this in a film called "The Legend of HIllbilly John." It was an excellent low budget film that seems to have disappeared. Too bad. Beautiful dialouge.
If you liked it a lot and you pop back here after 4 years you might try looking up the author Manly Wade Wellman. The movie was based off of two of his well-regarded Silver John/John the Balladeer short stories. Later he wrote a few book-length tales of John.
i think i might have added this to my playlist a million times. can't get enough!! this is definitely my favorite hoyt song (besides greenback dollar). so many memories...
The entirety of Greenback Dollar album is sublime!
Again.
I'd love to find a copy of the cut of this song used for the movie Hillbilly John. Anyone?
Sorry guys , someone gave him shelter in government
You should google "Ray Kawal Hoyt Axton". On his Hoyt Axton CD page you might find some real treasures, which aren't available in any other stores!
