  • The title track from the 1963 album Thunder'n Lightnin'. Hoyt sure has a powerful voice and it really shows on this track. The LP features loads of singular vocals in which Mr. Axton holds notes for entire breaths. Not exactly rare, but damn good.

    I'll never forget seeing Hoyt in a small concert venue back in the 70s. Powerful dude. Blew the roof off the place. There's a song on this album called Blue Prelude that is just killer. His mother, Mae Axton, co-wrote the Presley hit, Heartbreak Hotel.

    I knew he was a country guy, but I hadn't heard this delightful hillbilly side of him before. Methinks the Dead South needs to cover this great song and bump up its popularity.

    this obviously was not a mainstream pop hit but if you grew up in the Boston area in the early 1960s, you may have heard this song on WBZ which played a lot of folk and blues music and featured a folk show on Sunday nights. Boston was a folk music hotbed back in those days.

    Yeah, it was a thundering and thundering and lightening,
    You know the day this poor boy was born,
    I ain't never known nuthin' but your troubles,
    you know your trouble, and your hate and scorn.
    You know my daddy, lord, he died in a train wreck,
    yeah, my momma, she was born to lose.
    You know my middle name is Natural Born Trouble,
    yeah, and my last name it is the blues,
    oh yeah, my last name it is the blues.
    Whaaa-hooooooo
    (nice solo)
    I see the cold light a-comin' from the window,
    yeah, of you warm forty-thousand dollar home.
    Oh yeah, but I don't need you people
    because the Blues they was meant to roam, oh yeah.
    The Blues they was meant to roam.
    Well now hunger is my companion,
    cold and pain they know my cry.
    Oh yeah you people you can pray for salvation,
    Yeah, but the Blues don't never die, no no.
    But the Blues don't never die.
    Cuz it was a thundering and thundering and lightening,
    you know the day this poor boy was born.
    I ain't never known nuthin' but your trouble,
    You know your trouble, and your hate and scorn.
    You know my daddy, lord, he died in a train wreck,
    You know my Momma, she died a fool.
    You know my middle name is Natural Born Trouble, lord.
    And my last name it is The Blues. Oh yeah.
    And my last name it is The Blues.

    I grew up north of Boston and WBZ radio, a pop music station at the time, played a lot of folk music including this one. I don't think I'd be familiar with the song if they hadn't played it a lot. I'd be curious to know whether pop music stations in other areas of the U-S played it as well.
