Музыка и песни Hazlewood, Lee / Hazlewood, Lee на LP

Наслаждаться! Дин Мартин был настоящим зверем шоу-бизнеса. Опытный певец, комик и актер, он, вероятно, чувствовал себя как дома в ночных заведениях Лас-Вегаса вместе со своими товарищами по «Крысиной стае». Эта коллекция его лучших записей демонстрирует, почему Дин Мартин был и остается таким популярным.

Ли Хэзлвуд с его усами на руле и громким баритоном был одной из главных звезд конца 60-х. Хотя он, пожалуй, наиболее известен своей работой с Нэнси Синатрой (в том числе написанием мега-хита «Эти ботинки созданы для ходьбы»), Хэзлвуд проделал потрясающую работу вдали от этой конкретной королевы гламура и нашел новых чемпионов в лице Бека, Sonic Youth и Джарвиса. Кокер. Singles, Nudes & Backsides собирает лучшие сольные песни и дуэты Ли с его лейбла LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries). Как настоящая легенда великого американского песенника и мятежный первооткрыватель, оставивший после себя длинный шлейф эхо-исполненных поп-шедевров, влияние Ли продолжает ощущаться и сегодня.

With his handlebar moustache and booming baritone, Lee Hazlewood was one of the defining stars of the late 0s. Though he's perhaps best known for his work with Nancy Sinatra (including writing mega-hit "These Boots Are Made For Walking"), Hazlewood did stunning work away from that particular glamour queen and found latter day champions in Beck, Sonic Youth, and Jarvis Cocker. Now, for Record Store Day 2012, we are kicking off our excavation of the Lee Hazlewood archives with this anthology, Singles, Nudes & Backsides, collecting the best of Lee's solo songs and duets from his LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) imprint. As a true legend of the great American songbook and a rebellious pioneer who left behind a lengthy trail of echo laden pop masterpieces, Lee's influence continues to reverberate today. Between 1968-71, Hazlewood not only released his finest solo work, but produced numerous artists on LHI. From acid-folk and country-rock to pop-psych and soul, LHI issued dozens of long forgotten 45s and LPs. This series will include material from LHI (re-mastered for the first time from the original analog tapes), along with Lee's output for other labels, rarities, unreleased gems, and the films of Torbjörn Axelman. See the sleeve: surrounded by nude girls, each wearing a fake moustache, Hazlewood wears a suit, ever-so-slightly awkwardly playing the role of the 0s playboy. Just like the picture, the songs present a man conflicted; he's the tender-hearted romantic, the broken-hearted loser and the rugged cowboy, all in one. It's there in the western swing of "Califia (Stone Rider)", the loneliness of "The Bed" and the bleak beauty of "If It's Monday Morning." Hazlewood's tremulous voice was made for duets (indeed, he wrote "Some Velvet Morning", one of the greatest of all time); here, Suzi Jane Hokom, Ann-Margret and Nina Lizell play counterpart to his manly tones. In the wonderful liner notes, written by British journalist Wyndham Wallace, the writer describes his friend Hazlewood as "a curmudgeonly, unpredictable sort at the best of times, as impatient with his own talent as he is with other people." The Hazlewood Wallace knew was puzzled by the growing interest in him in the last two decades of his life, which was ended by cancer at age 78. That late flurry of interest saw him perform at the Royal Festival Hall in 1999, his first ever solo performance in the UK. A natural wanderer, Lee lived a big life, fighting in the Korean War, working as a radio DJ in Phoenix, Arizona, setting up Viv Records in the §0s, working as a big-shot LA producer in the 0s, signing Phil Spector to his Trey Records label and prematurely announcing retirement in the wake of the mid-0s British invasion. He didn't: Nancy Sinatra came along, the hits started flowing and he continued producing characterful solo albums into the 0s, which saw his move to Sweden. By 2007, Hazlewood was living in Vegas, and begrudgingly enjoying that flurry of latter-day interest in his work. This landmark compilation promises to create many more converts. +++ Debut release in Light In The Attic's Lee Hazlewood reissue series +++ Cuts from essential albums like Cowboy In Sweden +++ Features duets with Suzi Jane Hokom, Ann-Margret and Nina Lizell +++ Audio re-mastered from original tapes +++ Unreleased song "I Just Learned To Run" +++ In-depth liner notes & unseen photographs +++ 50 random LP copies include a limited LHI Records patch!

First ever reissue ++ Re-mastered from original master tapes ++ CD/LP include new liner notes by Wyndham Wallace, interviewing director Torbjörn Axelman ++ Unseen archive photos ++ LP includes 18"x24" fold-out reproduction of original film poster ++ A House Safe For Tigers is the soundtrack to one of the seven TV movies Lee Hazlewood made with the director Torbjörn Axelman during his period living in Sweden in the early 1970s. Hazlewood had moved there to lay low and to help his son avoid the draft, but wound up finding happiness and creative freedom. Many of the albums recorded in Sweden made their way no further than Scandinavia, but of them all, A House Safe For Tigers is the holy grail for collectors, often changing hands for hundreds of dollars. Originally only available in Sweden, this marks the first time Tigers has been reissued and available the world over. The movie was a "semi-documentary" featuring Hazlewood and his friend Axelman, looking back to childhood and contemplating the meaning of life. In it, Hazlewood runs a marathon, tells anecdotes about a bum who cured his stutter and convinces a group of Swedish children to take sides against Richard Nixon. "It's strange, very strange," Hazlewood said, "But we meant it to be strange." It's not necessary to see A House Safe For Tigers to enjoy the soundtrack, of course. Despite the fact that it was never released outside of Sweden, the music's hallowed reputation - cultivated in the intervening decades by the privileged few who were able to hear it - is testament to the strength of its material. The album finds Hazlewood contentedly immersing himself in Swedish life, serenading Gotland, the island Hazlewood fell in love with during the shooting of the television movie Cowboy in Sweden and where he spent time filming Tigers. Highlights include "The Nights," in which Lee conjures up an epic tale of love and genocide that draws on his Native American blood running, "Our Little Boy Blue," a magical, sleepy lullaby, and the two versions of the stirring, cinematic "Souls Island" frame the album; within them is held the blueprint for Richard Hawley's solo career. Before he died, Hazlewood and Axelman talked about the soundtrack A House Safe For Tigers, and whether it would ever be released again. "I don't know if anybody would be interested," Lee said. "Maybe perhaps they are. Sometimes we have to wait 30 years to be discovered." Style: Pop
