DESCRIPTION:

Lee Hazlewood made his bones producing and co-writing with guitarist Duane Eddy during the '50s, and then cemented his immortality with the classic sides he produced for Nancy Sinatra during the '60s. Over the past few decades, though, attention has turned to Lee's idiosyncratic solo work, the heart of which he recorded for the Reprise label and his own LHI Records. Issued in 1968, Love and Other Crimes is one of his Reprise releases, and it's one of the weirdest records in his entire catalog. Recorded in Paris with such legendary Wrecking Crew members as guitarist James Burton and drummer Hal Blaine, Hazlewood sounds every bit the bon vivant (read: half drunk) as he swings from country ballads to lightly psychedelic pop highlighted by his rockin' cover of Bonnie Dobson's "Morning Dew." Other highlights include "Rosacoke Street," which presents him at his most psychedelic lounge lizard-esque, (think a Hunter Thompson character from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) and his moving "Wait and See," an apology for bad behavior to an absent lover. Real Gone Music enlisted Mike Milchner to remaster this one for vinyl…don't miss Lee's stream-of-consciousness back cover notes, either. Pressed on sea blue vinyl limited to 1,000 copies!
