CD Reviews

King of Cool revisited
F. Keller | Wesel | 09/05/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It's always been a mystery to me why Lee Hazlewood is not recognized as one of the big songwriters of our times. His songs are full of pathos, lonesome cowboys & femme fatales and Lee got the voice to get away with it. This is the best compilation I've heard of him, it includes his own versions of the hits he wrote for Nancy Sinatra ("These Boots are made for walking"; "So Long Babe")as well as some rarer tracks from his 60's albums for MGM.
On "Summerwine" & "Sand" he duetts with here Suzy Jane Hokom, as opposed to the later versions he did with Nancy. My personal favourite would be the haunting coming-of-age ballad "My Autumn's Done Come". Sadly his masterpiece "Some Velvet Morning" is missing, but this is definitly a great introduction for people who are not yet familiar with this forgotten genius."
