Holy Shit at him going to high school with revisionist Western stalwart L.Q. Jones.

(... one for the 'the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually still alive' thread)

Really enjoyed that article. His push 'n' pull affection for the landscape of petroleum refineries and Methodists adds a bit of new understanding to his eccentricities.

this clip was new to me, nicely done

For a long time I thought that the Belly song “Sweet Ride” was a Lee Hazlewood composition bc I’m absolutely certain I saw it erroneously credited as such somewhere. As is clear from this new comp, Lee’s “Sweet Ride” is an entirely different song. Funnily enough though, Belly’s song sounds very much like it could be a Hazlewood tune.

My pick for underrated Hazlewood composition is “In Our Time,” recorded by him and later, with bowdlerized lyrics, by Nancy Sinatra.

"For A Day Like Today" was my top Spotify song a couple of years ago.

You probably already knew this, but the Sweet Ride film had another perspective theme song written & recorded by Moby Grape which they mime to in the film.

I did not already know this.

Nor I.

I do know that a very interesting upcoming book will feature a detailed analysis of the recording of “Omaha.”

his best song, maybe. always puts me in a space.

TIL that Reprise thought they could make lightning strike twice by having Lee produce another Rat Pack daughter...
