Lee Hazlewood: No. 13 (2-LP Deluxe)

(Light in the Attic) 30 tracks, gatefold cover

"13" was never planned as a Lee Hazlewood album. It is probably the most bizarre record by one of the most versatile artists in music history. Bombastic bass-heavy funk, soulful blues and soul are paired with Hazlewood's super-deep baritone. The album is probably best enjoyed with a large glass of Chivas in a far-off, seedy lounge in Las Vegas.
It contains some of the greatest lyrics Hazlewood ever wrote: "One week in San Francisco, existing on Nabisco, cookies and bad dreams, sad scenes and dodging paranoia."

In 1972, Lee Hazlewood had made himself at home in his new country, Sweden. He spent his days with Torbjörn Axelman, making films with him and releasing new records, all under the significant influence of alcohol. In order not to let his output of records drop, he constantly combed the LHI record archives for material. There he found a precious gem: a previously unreleased album by Larry Marks. LHI was on the decline and Larry Marks' fingerprints were on everything, as he had been an in-house producer: Songwriting, producing, arranging, and even his vocals.

He probably had the biggest influence on the label, steering it in the direction of soul and R&B. He arranged singles by Barbara Rudolph and Jon Christia. Larry's concept was to take Hazlewood's strongest compositions and arrange them with a soul vibe. The album was complete, but had no distribution in the US and there was no funding. So Lee didn't have the opportunity to release this album by Larry. So he took the recordings to Sweden and put his own voice over it instead of Larry Mark's. That's how "13" came about.
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 played the leading role. The psychedelic movie went well with the compilation of Hazlewood's best songs, which he had written during his three-year world tour. The album was produced in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Stockholm with a whole host of talented people.

"Cowboy in Sweden" is arguably the purest expression of Hazlewood's sound, melancholy country-pop with a wink ("Pray Them Bars Away"), some disappointment ("Cold Hard Times"), beautiful female vocalists ("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 label's last.

Lee Hazelwood

Lee Hazelwood, born in 1929 in Mannford, Oklahoma, went to Southern Methodist University before the Army took him to Korea. On his discharge in 1953, he became one of the most popular deejays in Phoenix, Arizona, where he broadcast C&W music locally. In 1955, he branched out into songwriting and began dabbling in record production after experimenting in his radio studio. His production of 'The Fool', by Sanford Clark, sold 800,000 copies on Dot Records in 1956 and Dot subsequently signed him as a record pro-ducer for a year, but he failed to make another hit. In 1957, he teamed up with entrepreneur Lester Sill and they formed the Jamie label in Philadelphia with a distribu-tor and Dick Clark of Bandstand fame.

Through Bandstand, they launched Duane Eddy with the 'twangy' guitar sound which made him a star. In three and a half years, Hazelwood sold 20 million Duane Eddy records which despite their crass commerciality were the earliest 'sound' productions in rock. In 1961, Hazelwood and Sill formed the Gregmark label which scored with Phil Spector-produced records by the Paris Sisters (Sill and Hazelwood had earlier run two less successful labels called Trey and East-West). They parted company in 1962 and Hazelwood formed an unsuccessful label, Eden.

In 1964, he left the business but the following year, Jimmy Bowen at Reprise asked him to produce the bubblegum trio of Dino, Desi and Billy for whom he pro-duced four consecutive hits. He also began recording Nancy Sinatra at Reprise and established her as a potent chart-force with 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin" and re-corded countrified duets, like 'Jackson', with her. In the late Sixties, be ran his own LHI label in Hollywood but lack of success ended the project.

Always something of a bohemian, Hazelwood — now in semi-retirement — commutes between homes in Sweden, Paris and Los Angeles.
