Ladies love Lee Hazlewood


Lee Hazlewood - The Night Before
The indomitable Lee Hazlewood wrote (These Boots Are Made For Walking) and produced (Duane Eddy) hundreds of songs in his lifetime, but my favorite work is the lesser known Cowboy in Sweden album featured here. Aptly described in Wikipedia, "Hazlewood had a distinctive baritone voice that added an ominous resonance to his music. Hazlewood's collaborations with Nancy Sinatra as well as his solo output in the late 1960s and early 1970s have been praised as an essential contribution to a sound often described as 'Cowboy Psychedelia' or 'Saccharine Underground'."
