Hazlewood Rarities.......2007-04-11

Like many others my age, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to Lee Hazlewood or his music while he was in the semi-limelight, but came to know and love his music much later on. Several years ago, I chanced to hear a compilation of covers of Lee Hazlewood songs called Total Lee. I liked it and became hooked almost immediately. Since then, I have acquired most available Hazlewood recordings and have become somewhat of a connoisseur of his dark humor and ribald connotations.
With the recent acquisition of the double reissue of Poet, Fool, or Bum/Back On the Street Again, I am well on my way to completion of my Hazlewood CD collection. Both of these records (here combined) were released only in Europe in the mid-70s, so listening to this is to hear what he was doing at a time when many thought he had disappeared.
It took me a couple of listens to really like this, but I eventually came around. This is far more country than pop. While these are not his best records, there is a lot here to like. My favorites are: Poet, Fool, or Bum; Kari; Feathers, Nancy and Me; Back On the Street Again; Your Thunder and Your Lightning; Suddenly Tennessee, Dolly and Hawkeye, and Dolly Parton's Guitar. Hearing once again how lyrically clever Hazlewood can be, I can see why so many alt-rock musicians look to him for inspiration.
If you have yet to hear this bunch of Hazlewood rarities, give it a listen. In addition to the CD, the buyer gets an informative booklet. At the low price on offer here, you can't go wrong.

Dear Old Lee With A Great Album.......2007-01-15

Since I First Met Him Here In Sweden, I`ve Alwas Liked This Guy. He Got Something That`s Hard To Explain. But His Voice Just Sounds Great

Can Hazlewood do any wrong? I haven't heard it..........2006-08-25

Here ya got 2 great albums by Mr. Hazlewood. The songs Poet, Fool, or Bum (one of Lee's greatest), Heaven is my Woman's Love, and Smokey Put a Sweat on Me are excellent additions to the Hazlewood catalogue. Some of the songs have a bit of a 70's feel to them, but I dig the 1970's, probably the last really creative decade in America. Add another CD to your Hazlewood catalogue....
