Summary: "The Very Best" From A Songwriting Genius
Comment: This is a terrific CD! A collection of Hoyt's "Very Best" songs from 1962-80, it contains many that have been covered by hugely popular bands like Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf, as well as many that are less well known. All are outstanding, and as for the ones that have been covered, I like Hoyt's own versions better! I highly recommend this one. It's all going on my iPod. :-)
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Flashes of Fire stinks
Comment: This is an inferior product, in my opinion. Most of these songs are grade B and there are only about 3 that were hits. I paid for the whole album just to get those 3 songs!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Any Hoyt is good Hoyt
Comment: Axton is as important to Americana as Dylan and Springsteen and deserves all the respect and attention given him and more. Seeing any CD release of his music is a pleasant suprise but many of his best are missing from this release. If you want Hoyt's best, you've got to have - 500 Miles, Hotel Ritz, Pride of Man, So Hard To Give It All Up, The Devil, Mountain Right, Cowboys On Horses With Wings, Wild Bull Rider, and the most beautiful song he ever sang: I Collect Hearts. Other glaring ommissions include- I Love To Sing, The Way Of The World, Southbound, I Left My Gal In The Mountains and California Women.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Collection of Hoyt Axton's songs
Comment: This CD is the best collection of Hoyt Axtons that I have found. I could not find much selection in retail stores.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best compilation of overlooked star
Comment: Hoyt Axton grew up in the business of making music. With obvious regard to his mother and her song writing efforts, Hoyt carried the family music torch for several decades. It's a mystery why he never quite got his just due with Billboard charts and radio air-play. No matter, if you're interested in country, folk, story songs, or just fine music, Hoyt Axton's Flashes of Fire will not disappoint!
