LEE HAZLEWOOD The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes & Backsides [1968-71] (2023 UK/EU 17-track double album 2-LP remastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on classic black vinyl. Drawn directly from the Lee Hazlewood archives, The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes and Backsides (1968-71) gathers key solo recordings and duets from Hazlewood's own LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) imprint. Spanning a fertile period between 1968 and 1971, the collection highlights the breadth of his writing and production during an era when LHI issued a steady stream of cult 45s and albums across acid-folk, country-rock, pop-psych and soul. While widely recognised for his work with Nancy Sinatra - including writing "These Boots Are Made For Walking" - Hazlewood's solo catalogue stands apart for its stark arrangements, cinematic melancholy and unmistakable baritone. This anthology traces that independent vision, from the western swing inflections of "Califia (Stone Rider)" to the restrained introspection of "The Bed" and "If It's Monday Morning". Duets feature prominently, with contributions from Suzi Jane Hokom, Ann-Margret and Nina Lizell, underscoring Hazlewood's gift for vocal counterpoint - a dynamic he famously explored on "Some Velvet Morning". Housed in a gatefold picture sleeve faithfully reproducing the original, era-defining cover artwork design, with wrap-around obi & factory sealed. Recommended).
