4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, we bought this Nancy Sinatra album for the cover shot.., 16 Nov 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: How Does That Grab You? (Audio CD)

Yes, the album cover screams SEX KITTEN at you, even without the trademark white go-go boots. The evocative pose is rather ironic since on "How Does That Grab You?" Nancy Sinatra shifts away from covering rock songs as she did on her first album "Boots" and explores more traditional pop genres. I mean, listen to the first two tracks, "Not the Lovin' Kind" and "Shadow of Your Smile," and you would never think to connect the dots between these songs and "These Boots Are Made for Walking." This is the most diverse Nancy Sinatra album, which is an understatement for an album that can offer up "Let It Be Me" and "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)"; but remember, originally they would have been on different sides of the record. However, there are several excellent examples of what is now considered vintage Nancy Sinatra, such as the title song, "Last of the Secret Agents," and "Lightning Girl." There is also "Sand," which is the best of her duets with Lee Hazzlewood that did not make it onto her original hits collection on CD. But on balance this is a second tier Nancy Sinatra Album that is also harmed by the fact that the album cover is now reduced to CD size when it really needs to be a poster suitable for hanging on your wall. I wonder which came first: the decision to give the album this name or the decision to use that cover photo?

4.0 out of 5 stars Boots really IS the lovin' kind!, 13 Dec 2002

By jon sieruga - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: How Does That Grab You? (Audio CD)

Nancy purrs through eleven icy-cool, frosty-fine tracks(plus 4 bonus cuts)on this, her second album. Good news first: she looks great on the cover(as always)and sounds even better on the snappy "Sorry 'Bout That" and the standard "The Shadow Of Your Smile"(which got recorded by everybody and their father, but movin' on...). A duet with Lee Hazlewood on "Sand" sounds great, but the Sundazed remixing, with the voices separated(one on either speaker)took some time getting used to(I listened to the Mono record for years). The not-so-great news: her cover of "Bang Bang" is too faithful a reading to compete with the Cher original, and "Crying Time" and "Call Me" are just filler. Overall, not at all bad, and the bonus tracks feature "Feelin' Kind of Sunday"(a wonderfully campy duet with dad Frank)and the whip-snappin' "Lightning's Girl". A-

5.0 out of 5 stars It Sure Does Grab Me., 14 Jun 2002

By Josh Andrews - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: How Does That Grab You? (Audio CD)

Following the song that made her famous worldwide "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'", the album "How Does That Grab You?" has become my most favorite album. Lee Hazelwood helped Nancy send various songs up the Billboard Pop Chart with hits such as "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?" and "Lightning's Girl". This album to me is the best of Nancy's career. With its songs full of story-telling lyrics, emotions, and appeal, "Not The Lovin' Kind" and "The Shadow of Your Smile" have become favorites of Nancy fans. Also, a duet with Lee also sparked a favorite in the eyes of the fans. "Sand" is one of Lee's best written songs which describes two strangers who meet and fall in love. Its music and lyrics will grab your mind by the instant it your ears catch its vibes. A great list of songs featuring "How Does That Grab You, Darlin'", "Call Me", and "Sorry 'Bout That" were some of the more popular tracks on this CD. "Feelin' Kind of Sunday", a playful duet between Nancy and her late father, Frank Sinatra, also became a great favorite. With the help of great song writers, music styles, and the legendary Sinatra voice, Nancy has made a name for herself. Truely, this is a must get CD. You can preview some tracks at [website] by clicking on the Bootique icon and see why fans claim this to be one of her best CDs ever. As a fourteen year old, I have found myself enveloped within her beautiful voice, mind controlling lyrics and sexy attitude. I am anxious to see what lies in the future for Nancy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy, you smart-aleck kitten, you! Rrrrowr!, 6 July 2002

By Daniel J. Hamlow - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: How Does That Grab You? (Audio CD)

This is the second and last album where Nancy has her bad-girl image. However, one can find a variety of styles from the bluesy jazz of "Not The Lovin' Kind," "The Shadow Of Your Smile," which might be a soundtrack to a nice picnic outing, a blue evening in a dimly-lit cafe, or something to play in the crib with a loved one, to the country of "Crying Time."

The sass is back in the kittenish "Sorry 'Bout That" as she's been tired of being treated like an alley cat and finds someone who treats her more decently. However, the favor is returned to her in the mid-paced blues of "My Baby Cried All Night Long," where after doing the same thing as the previous song, finds that her lover has done the same with girl. She gives the moral of that song at the end: "you shouldn't be caught messin' when you shouldn't be messin', or you'll be crying all night long." Sound advice.

The poetic "Time" is one of three standout ballads here. Inbetween the forlorn refrain, "Time, oh time. where did you go?" some lines from the book of life is written out. "Some people never get and some never give, some people never die, but some never live. Some folks they treat me mean, some treat me kind, but most folks just go their way, don't pay me no mind."

"Sand" is another well-written Lee Hazlewood track with a Beatle-ish influenced solo in the middle. I wonder what was used in the rhythm section--it sounds like a cross between a harp and guitar. Nancy and Lee duet together as a woman whose flames of love are small to share and the man with a cold heart but free soul who sets her afire.

As for cover songs, she does Buck Owens' "Crying Time," Petula Clark's "Call Me," Sonny and Cher's "Bang Bang," and Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time For You To Go." All are done more than satisfactorily--even making "Bang Bang" into a ballad. The haunting vibrating guitar notes emphasizes the downbeat and cruel message of that song.

The title track might as well be called "These Boots Are Still Made For Walkin'," as it's close to the original. However, the lyrics still have some of that old sass. "Now you ain't nothing but an old tomcat, runnin' around my house./I'll tell you something you old tomcat, you just lost your mouse."

Of the other singles, "The Last Of The Secret Agents" is a comedic song about someone whose number is 0.007, even mimicking a snatch of the theme song before going into her "Boots"-like rhythm, backed with a strong brass section. How pathetic is this guy? "He's never even caught a cold." "He got his degree from Disneyland," "an underwhelming kind of sleuth, "He thinks James Bond's some kind of suit." She warns off a potential goofball suitor that she's "Lighting's Girl" and "mother rooster's hen."

The teary "Until It's Time For You To Go" is a farewell song for all ages, with its string section and lyrics emphasizing they are not gods or angels, but men and women. And "Feelin' Kinda Sunday," a duet with her father, is a preview of Nancy In London.
