Many many Velvet Mornings!.......2007-01-06

I've had Nancy Sinatra's greatest hits for many many years and the only tracks that made the IPod or regular rotation were "These Boots Are Made for Walking (written by Lee) and Some Velvet Morning (a duet with Lee). Some Velvet Morning has been one of my favorite songs for a long time but I just assumed that Lee was a one trick pony... until I decided to pick up this record.

I'm now obsessed with Lee and have started buying his catalog. This record started my obsession with Lee... if you don't like this comp you just don't like Lee.

Lee Hazlewood , the words and music behind Nancy Sinatra.......2003-07-19

I remember seeing Nancy Sinatra on many television variety shows in the 1960s and always wondered where her lyrical and mystical balads came from. I remember her singing "Summer Wine" and suddenly I knew It had to be Lee Hazlewood and I have been a fan since then. Lee Hazlewood is an overlooked genius in the music business. cc snyder

Knock On Wood.......2003-01-08

Brilliant, dorky, drunken & nostalgic as a cryrogenically frozen martini, this is the ultimate Lee Hazelwood collection to date. If Sinatra had deigned to go Country to alleviate his flagging late 60's career, he would have called on Lee Hazelwood."After Six" could've been the hungover, morning after sequel to "One For My Baby".

"The Old Man & His Guitar" brings vintage Leonard Cohen to mind. "Jose" is so god awful, it gives Elvis Presely's theme song to "Charro" a run for it's money. But therein, lies the fun of it all. If camp were an art form, then Hazelwood has accidentally stumbled on it.

What's great about Hazelwood's cheescake trappings are the universal truths he hacks up despite the canned production. Loneliness, longing, & woe---it's all there. Behind it all, is a balladeer who knows his craft, despite the smaltz. The horns may be goofy but if you strip it down, "When a Fool Loves A Fool" is a great song, worthy of a fashionable makeover cover. That being said, I wouldn't change a note of "Child". "Hands" is as maudlin as it gets, then this rambunctious piano cuts in and saves the day.

Superficially, one would say this is vintage kitch with it's tongue firmly lodged in cheek. A number of listens & it's more than you bargained for. To quote the liner notes on the back, " It's not rock, it's not country, not quite lounge-it's unique. "

All it takes is a talented, imaginative listener & this collection is a bit more than a soundtrack to a 1969 issue of Playboy. But if that's all you get from it, atleast you'll have fun.
