Lee Hazlewood: Cowboy in Sweden (2-LP Deluxe)

(Light in the Attic) 26 tracks, gatefold sleeve

Lee Hazlewood spent much of the late 1960s on a huge world tour, producing records and signing business contracts. A string of hits with Nancy Sinatra allowed him to build a mini media empire called Lee Hazlewood Industries (LHI) and tap into all kinds of resources for a while. By the end of the decade, LHI Records was broke, had worked with half a dozen distributors and still hadn't had the chart success that would have been expected after "These Boots Are Made For Walking". Lee was lucky that there was one place where business was still booming: Sweden. On the fringes of an LHI promotional tour in Stockholm, Lee met Swedish filmmaker Torbjörn Axelman. This led to a 38-year business partnership and friendship. This gave Lee the strength to carry on after LHI failed in Los Angeles.

Light In The Attic is now releasing an extended edition of "Cowboy In Sweden" as a continuation of the Lee Hazlewood series. "Cowboy In Sweden" was the soundtrack to the film of the same name, which became a cult classic and in which Hazlewood also starred. The psychedelic movie went well with the compilation of Hazlewood's best songs, which he had written during his three-year trip around the world. The album was produced in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Stockholm with a whole host of talented people.

"Cowboy in Sweden" is probably the purest expression of Hazlewood's sound, melancholic country-pop with a wink ("Pray Them Bars Away"), some disappointment ("Cold Hard Times"), beautiful female singers ("Leather & Lace" & "Hey Cowboy") and even a couple of anti-war songs to round it all off ("No Train to Stockholm" & "For A Day Like Today"). The orchestral pop song "What's More I Don't Need Her" arranged by David "Bitter Sweet Symphony" Whitaker and the Hazlewood classic "The Night Before" make it clear that this is absolutely the best album in the history of LHI Records - ironically, it was also the last on the label.

Lee Hazelwood

Lee Hazelwood, geboren 1929 in Mannford, Oklahoma, ging an die Southern Methodist University, bevor die Armee ihn nach Korea brachte. Nach seiner Entlassung 1953 wurde er einer der beliebtesten DJs in Phoenix, Arizona, wo er C&W-Musik lokal ausstrahlte. 1955 begann er mit dem Songwriting und begann nach Experimenten in seinem Radiostudio mit der Plattenproduktion. Seine Produktion von'The Fool' von Sanford Clark verkaufte sich 1956 auf Dot Records und Dot unterschrieb ihn ein Jahr lang als Plattenproduzent, aber er schaffte keinen weiteren Hit. 1957 gründete er zusammen mit dem Unternehmer Lester Sill das Label Jamie in Philadelphia mit einem Distributor und Dick Clark von Bandstand.

Über Bandstand lancierten sie Duane Eddy mit dem'twangy' Gitarrensound, der ihn zum Star machte. In dreieinhalb Jahren verkaufte Hazelwood 20 Millionen Duane Eddy Platten, die trotz ihrer krassen Kommerzialisierung die ersten'Sound'-Produktionen im Rock waren. 1961 gründeten Hazelwood und Sill das Gregmark-Label, das mit von Phil Spector produzierten Platten der Paris Sisters punktete (Sill und Hazelwood hatten zuvor zwei weniger erfolgreiche Labels namens Trey und East-West geführt). Sie trennten sich 1962 und Hazelwood gründete ein erfolgloses Label, Eden.

1964 verließ er das Unternehmen, doch im folgenden Jahr bat ihn Jimmy Bowen bei Reprise, das Bubblegum-Trio von Dino, Desi und Billy zu produzieren, für das er vier aufeinanderfolgende Hits produzierte. Er fing auch an, Nancy Sinatra bei Reprise aufzunehmen und etablierte sie als starke Chart-Kraft mit'These Boots Are Made For Walkin' und nahm mit ihr Country-Duette wie'Jackson' auf. In den späten sechziger Jahren führte er sein eigenes LHI-Label in Hollywood, aber der Mangel an Erfolg beendete das Projekt.

Hazelwood - jetzt in Altersteilzeit - pendelt zwischen Wohnungen in Schweden, Paris und Los Angeles.
