You’ll know Hazlewood from the hits he penned for Nancy Sinatra, including These Boots Were Made For Walking.
But this collection of lost singles reveals a great pop auteur, who constructed for himself a versatile degenerate cowboy poet character, equal parts Johnny Cash and Paul Verlaine.
As usual, Hazlewood plays opposite a string of angelically voiced female foils, over songs that embrace the swirling psychedelic colour schemes of the period, suddenly blooming from mock heroic parody into genuine profundity, whist remaining recognisably within a timeless tin-pan alley tradition.
