Man, this man is a smarmy, swarmy genius.
He's so cool, even when dissing the NY bohos.
Total Lee!, the tribute album is wicked cool as well, with calexico and Calvin Johnson among others paying tribute.
The pics of him with shitloads of kids wearing his moustache are beautiful.

Gots to pick up that tribute album, I think!
You appreciate some good things, Jimmytrash.
Have only heard a bit of his stuff but love what I have heard.

I love his album with Anne Margaret. BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT
He is also the inspiration for my moustache.
Putting an old Lee vinyl and serving a tart Martini to a special guest at your house is a delicacy reserved to few....

yeah! the version of 'dark end of the street' is the best! aside from james carr
Fine don't answer me. Cunz.
Lee's version of jerry lee's whole lotta shakin' is possibly the dirtiest thing you'll ever put into your ear!
gives gainsbourg a run for his money in the sleaze stakes.
Yeah, he is definetely the American Serge.
Id like to see some stats, Chanteur Vs Crooner,
Alcohol Consumed
Women Slept With
Copies Sold
Sexist Remarks on National Television
Famous Celebrity Relationships would be very interesting- Both had heaps.
There was a great, great German or Austrian boot a few years ago called "The many sides Of Lee" that has a great cross-section of his best material.
Lee Hazlewood. Such a fine man. Such a formidable moustache.
a poet, a fool or a bum
some great stuff of Lee's - both with Anne Margaret and Nancy and his solo stuff
Lax - you should know of a certain (Spencer) Lee inpersonator around the Gong should you not? - I'll burn ya some of his finest moments anyways
i love his work - i really overdosed on that 'nancy and lee' record though...
At his best with Nancy, of course...
some velvet morning when i'm straight...
"Trouble Is A Lonesome Town" is a good rainy day record
Lee on Nancy:
"What’s it like to work with a Nancy Sinatra? It’s a visit to Disneyland, only your father owns all the rides. It’s an evening in the medicine cabinet of Edgar Allen Poe’s mother. It’s a trip on Superman’s cape and you are too frightened to look down for fear you’ll discover your real identity. It’s a Sousa march and the phallic cymbals are playing melody. It’s a plastic palace where all that glitters is gold. It’s a Las Vegas stage, sitting on a two-dollar stool in front of a fifty-two-piece orchestra, next to a lady in a five thousand-dollar gown; you’re singing a little flat and wondering if the fly is open on your eight-dollar 'jeans'. It’s Beauty and the Beast selling a 'fix' to the Mickey Mouse People. It’s frustrating, foolish, Falstaffian, freaky, fucked-up and fun."
That is beautiful.
just listening to that new one ''cake or death'' ... pretty fun album ...
zomenn got banned?
Is he dyin'?
one last record.
appreciating lee hazlewood in incorrectly spelt appreciation thread
trouble is a lonesome town...
I've ben digging the Lee & Ann Margaret stuff a bit lately - more than the Nancy & lee
anyone got his new record yet? what's it called cake or death?
can't find it anywhere near me ( no surprise)
Last month it was being advertised on the u-bahn televisions every few minutes in Berlin...
can't find it anywhere near me ( no surprise)
whole bunch at Melb City JB stores
bump!
just playing lee + nancy really LOUD!!
it's wonderful at ridiculous volume (and other volumes, but especially loud!)
Ok, my folks have the radio stuck on the outer suburbs oldies station and blow me down, it seem to be giving Some Velvet Morning a FLOGGING - I've heard it twice in two days now (I've also heard Food Glorious Food twice but that's besides the point). I'm curious why this freaked-out, warped piece of oddness appeals to the Max Bygraves and Des O'Connor crowd of announcers. It's such an anomaly and stands out like the big marbles in the school dog's pocket. Maybe they see 'Sinatra' on the label and think it's Frank...
They don't seem to have much time for other things of this era that I'd give an ear to - Carpenters, Bacharach, Webb - so why this, of all things? Does Pops Malone on the midnight shift put this on, lean back in his Jason Recliner rocker, put his camel-suede hushpuppies up on the desk hearing the gentle swish of corduroy as he crosses his ankles, lace his fingers behind his greying Head And Shoulders'd bonce, half-close his eyelids and have a flashback reverie about when you really thought we could change the world and there was beauty in a blade of grass and the universe in a grain of sand...
Or did someone just leave it on the top of the pile.
I'm genuinely curious about this.
Woow!
Never knew this had a flim clip
The Nights
BUMP
Autumn's Done Come - beautiful.
How cool is that post of Kez's (?)
(why, thank you!)
