Our Take

Lee Hazlewood's "Cowboy In Sweden" Deluxe Edition is like a wild ride on a bucking bronco through the Swedish countryside. This album, originally released in 1970, showcases Hazlewood's unique blend of country, folk, and psychedelic rock.

From the twangy guitars to Hazlewood's gravelly voice, this album is a quirky and delightful romp through the wild west, with a Scandinavian twist. The Deluxe Edition features bonus tracks and alternate versions that give fans a deeper insight into Hazlewood's creative process.

Songs like "Pray Them Bars Away" and "For Once in My Life" are catchy and infectious, while tracks like "Easy and Me" and "No Train to Stockholm" showcase Hazlewood's lyrical prowess. It's like taking a trip through a psychedelic saloon, where anything can happen.

Hazlewood's quirky storytelling and offbeat humour make this album a must-listen for fans of alternative country and folk music. Whether you're a die-hard Hazlewood fan or just dipping your toe into his discography, "Cowboy In Sweden" Deluxe Edition is a fun and entertaining listen that will have you tapping your boots and reaching for the nearest bottle of whiskey. So saddle up and join Lee Hazlewood on this wild ride through Sweden and beyond. Yee-haw!

About the artist

Lee Hazelwood

Ah, Lee Hazlewood. The enigmatic cowboy producer from Oklahoma who once famously declared, "I'm kind of a synthesis of those two things: the country boy and the big-city cat." With over six decades in the music industry, Hazlewood has left an indelible mark on the world of music. Beginning his career as a songwriter in the early 1950s, Hazlewood quickly rose to fame with hits like "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" for Nancy Sinatra. But it wasn't until he released his own solo albums that Hazlewood truly found his voice as an artist. His deep baritone voice and effortless charm are on full display in albums like "Nancy & Lee" and "Requiem for an Almost Lady," where he seamlessly blends country, pop, and psychedelic elements to create a sound uniquely his own. His storytelling abilities are unparalleled, weaving tales of love, loss, and longing with a wit and wisdom that belies his cowboy persona. Despite his success, Hazlewood remains a somewhat elusive figure, preferring to let his music speak for itself. But make no mistake, his influence can be heard in the work of artists from Nick Cave to Lana Del Rey. Lee Hazlewood may have shuffled off this mortal coil in 2007, but his music lives on, a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of music.
