LEE HAZLEWOOD THE LHI YEARS SINGLES NUDES AND BACKSIDES 1968 / 71 LIGHT IN THE ATTIC RECORDS
Lee Hazlewood is hard to categorize. With his eerie baritone and ear for trippily reverbed vocals, he mingled orchestrated pop and Laurel Canyon folk, a bit like Serge Gainsbourg singing country and western or Leonard Cohen gone bubblegum. He was never quite as overtly sexual as his French contemporary nor as overtly Biblical as his Canadian peer, but possessed an equally singular vision of pop music, which, 40 years after his heyday, makes his songs immediately distinctive and identifiable. But Hazlewood's solo career was overshadowed by his collaborations, first with Duane Eddy and most famously with Nancy Sinatra. He wrote and produced her biggest hits-- "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and "Some Velvet Morning"-- and even recorded a few duets with her, like Porter & Dolly for the Sunset Strip. During the mid-1960s, their partnership made her a star in her own right, although she would always be known as Frank's daughter. After they parted ways, Hazlewood released a string of comparatively minor hits on his own LHI Records, and while he never achieved the same level of success he enjoyed with Nancy, he never lost his weirdo ambitions.
