"Cowboy In Sweden" was the soundtrack to a film, I'm pretty sure he used old recordings alongside newer materialHmm, you may be right. OK. Cowboy is disqualified!
haven't we done this poll before? i remember rambling on about how great Love & Other Crimes was on some thread or other. anyway, that again.
I couldn't find a LH poll. I'd like to see it though.

wish I could find at least half of these. Of the ones I've heard, its close between Trouble is a Lonesome Town and Cowboy in Sweden. Have yet to hear an album by this guy that I didn't like tbh
Shakey OTM!

the rhino 3 cd seal "Strung Out on Something New" has 3 of his mid to late sixties albums in their entirety plus various singles and production work he did for otherswell worth getting if you can find it. One track, Guitar On My Mind - DUANE & MIRIAM EDDY, is very much a proto-Some Velvet Morning.

as predicted!Not bad, though I don't rate Trouble as high as that. It's good, but there are better (Lee Hazlewoodism, Something Special, The Very Special World, and A House Safe For Tigers to name four.
I voted for Love & Other Crimes.

Love that Poet, Fool or Bum ad. I was looking through some late 60s/early 70s Rolling Stones recently and there are so many ads in that vein - large type, portentous message, a degree of assumed insider knowledge. It's a style of advertising that's completely outdated, never to return.
Missed this poll but would have voted Requiem. Love the spoken word interludes. I interviewed him in 2002 and it was such a buzz to hear him use pretty much exactly the same tone of voice. He also made quite a dent in a bottle of whisky and a packet of Marlboro Reds.

I picked up the vinyl of this on Record Store Day and it's stunning throughout. I only knew Hazelwood's most famous work (like the Poet, Fool or Bum upthread implies) but this has opened a whole 'nother world.

I have been meaning to buy this since it came out - a fair amount of it (a third?) is unfamiliar to me
― Shameful Dead Half Choogle (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
Nobody Like You is amazing. And I guess Califia was the A side to that single. The rest of the best stuff is basically from other albums.

Regarding the poll I would have gone for Love and Other Crimes, it has an embarrassment of riches and most mere mortals would struggle to have such an abundance of great songs on a best of collection rather than an album. Every Time I listen to That Old Freight Train it reduces me to tears, its a fucking beautiful song.
