Review

Paxton -- not a band, but rather the name of a multi-talented pop singer-songwriter -- blends glam-rock with classic '60s guitar-pop on his eponymous debut album. Although some of the songs demonstrate a bit too much of his influences (Lou Reed and David Bowie, in particular), Paxton has enough wit and melody to make it worth investigating for serious pop fans that like catchy melodies with provocative arrangments and lyrics. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Biography

Power pop singer/songwriter Paxton was born and raised in Indiana; orphaned at age 12 after the death of his mother, from whom he inherited his passion for music, a few years later he quit school and hit the road with his guitar in tow, wandering across the country, accepting a series of odd jobs and performing in the occasional club. By the mid-1970s he'd become a professional dancer, appearing with a number of national touring companies; eventually Paxton moved to Nashville to pursue a career in country music, but left town within the year to return to New York City. There he landed a gig at the Bitter End, catching the attention of record exec Nat Weiss; after reactivating the Nemperor label, Weiss signed Paxton to a multi-album deal. Backed by guitarists David Matos and Rick Kolster, bassist Randy Jordan and drummer Rob Cournoyer, Paxton issued his self-titled debut album in 1998. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Paxton is an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin derived from the place where a man once lived or held land, and is likely based on a place of the same name in Huntingdonshire, England.[1] One of the earliest references to this name is found in English documents as early as 1180 AD.[1]
