It was even included as a track on his 1981 album ‘Live!’ The version on the album is slightly different than the one in the video, with different details & numbers.

Here’s my dad Hoyt Axton playing a cover of “Ol’ Red.” The song tells the story of a prisoner serving 99 years on a prison farm in Georgia & how he escapes thanks to an ingenious plan involving the warden’s dog. This song was written by James Bohan, Don Goodman, & Mark Sherrill. It was first recorded by George Jones in 1990, then by Kenny Rogers in 1993. The most famous version of the song, though, is by Blake Shelton. He released it as one of the singles from his debut self-titled album in 2002

Happy Tuesday Tribute! Here’s a video of my dad Hoyt Axton playing “Them Downers” with his band on Austin City Limits in 1978. This is one of my dad’s lesser known songs off of his 1978 album ‘Free Sailin.’ It was co-written by him & his longtime backup singer Janalee Eberly. This song wasn’t a single & it didn’t chart, nor did any of the other songs on it like “Honky Tonk Music” or “Endless Road,” but the album itself made it to #42 on the US Country chart. This is just one of the anti-drug son

Here’s the story of the movie they wrote about my dad Hoyt Axton’s tour bus, plus us playing the song he wrote about that bus called “An Old Greyhound.” I’ve posted a clip of the story before but not the full video with the song.

Here’s my pappy Hoyt Axton telling a story about driving around with a trunk full of moonshine on the TNN show ‘Music City Tonight’ with Crook & Chase in 1994!

He even hosted a TNN profile series called ‘Life and Times’ which featured a different country artist every episode.

Since everyone liked the story about my dad’s tour bus & the movie it inspired, here is the song he wrote about the Honeysuckle Rose called “An Old Greyhound”! It came out in 1976 on the album ‘Fearless’, the same one that “Evangelina” was on. “An Old Greyhound” was not used on the soundtrack for the movie ‘Honeysuckle Rose’ (1980). Instead, they had Willie Nelson, who my dad passed the starring role onto, write original songs for the soundtrack. Willie Nelson’s Grammy winning song, “On the Road
