Saturday's Child

Hoyt Axton’s Saturday’s Child on Horizon Records & Tapes captures the singer-songwriter’s gift for narrative balladry and wry Americana humor. Axton’s distinctive drawl and fingerpicked guitar work anchor these character studies and folk-inflected tales, marking a quieter moment in his career between his more commercially successful recordings. The album showcases his skill at crafting memorable melodies within the country-folk idiom that defined much of his output in the 1970s.
