Here’s a clip of an interview my dad Hoyt Axton did on “Music City Tonight” on TNN in 1994. In this clip he tells a funny story (that may or may not have been true) about causing a scene at a fundraising event with my grandma, Mae Boren-Axton. Sitting next to him are Gene Watson & Big Al Downing.

Here’s my pop Hoyt Axton playing “Jealous Man” on a TV show in 1981. This song appeared on his 1976 album ‘Fearless’ along with “Evangelina”, “Gypsy Moth”, “Flash of Fire”, & “An Old Greyhound”. Unlike “Flash of Fire” & “Evangelina”, “Jealous Man” did not end up charting, but the album as a whole reached #26 on the US Country music charts. The song gained a little more recognition in 1979 when my dad played part of it on the TV show ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’, the same appearance that popularized his

My dad Hoyt Axton playing his hit song “Boney Fingers” with his cousin Arlo Guthrie & Steve Goodman on the live concert series ‘Soundstage’ in 1974. “Boney Fingers” was the biggest hit that my dad released himself. It was a single from his album ‘Life Machine’, which had just come out in 1974, & it peaked at #8 on the Billboard country charts. Usually the second verse of the song is sung by a woman. The album version of the song is a duet with Renee Armand & live performances of it featured one
