Will,

You want all of them? The man has been prolific as a song-writer. CDNow lists 14 CD's not including "greatest hits". At 12 songs per CD thats 168 songs. And he has produced more albums than those listed.

You could click on each CD individually and get a list of the songs on it.

Are you looking for something specific?

That's not all - get him wound up good at a festival campground and he'll make some up on the spot...

In his career so far, Paxton has released 34 albums. Admittedly there is some overlap and duplication. Nevertheless, that's a lot of songs. Add to that the songs he has written but not recorded himself. There are a number of these in his first songbook. Also he is frequently writing little songs about the hot topics of the day that are constantly changing and often don't survive long enough to become parts of albums. He often refers to them as his "short shelf life songs". I would not hazard a guess as to what his total song production has been.
