Lee Hazlewood Biography In April 1999 Smells Like Records began reissuing rare recordings by one of pop music's most original and endearing -- yet largely unsung -- iconoclasts, writer/producer/singer Lee Hazlewood. Known primarily for the timeless hits he wrote and/or produced for stars and legends including Duane Eddy, Nancy Sinatra, Waylon Jennings, Dean Martin, and more, Hazlewood also issued several sterling solo albums as an artist on his own LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) imprint throughout the 60s and 70s. Difficult to find even on the original LP format, the albums had been fetching high prices among collectors for years, and by the early 90s imported CD bootlegs were rampant. SLR wanted to bring these gems to the compact disk legitimately, and affordably, for the first time, in order to raise the profile of this singular American artist. The series commenced with the 1970 release Cowboy In Sweden, the first of a series of albums recorded in Sweden, and Farmisht, Flatulence, Origami, ARF!!!, and me, a collection of popular standards recorded in 1997, which was the first new Lee Hazlewood album released domestically in nearly two decades. Over the next six months, SLR released Trouble is a Lonesome Town, his spare and simple solo debut, Requiem for an Almost Lady, an aural anatomy of a bittersweet breakup, and 13, a barnstorming, brass-laden funk record. May 2000 saw the release of The Cowboy & The Lady, an album of duets with 60s screen legend Ann-Margret. Releases Links A great Hazlewood fan site |
