Product Description

CD Description

A few years before singer/songwriter Lee Hazlewood paired up with his most famous foil, Nancy Sinatra, he unveiled his first solo album, TROUBLE IS A LONESOME TOWN. Although Hazlewood was already known as a producer for guitar legend DuaneEddy, this 1963 debut established the artist's own unique aesthetic, which often recalled a quirky bohemian version of Johnny Cash, both in his deep voice and narrative sensibility. Hazlewood's knack for storytelling pervades the entire record, unfolding as a concept piece about a town named Trouble and its various residents. Whether pondering outlaw lineage (the wistful, yet cheeky "Son of a Gun"), the girl next door (the spare, sensual "Look at That Woman"), or even death (the cheerfully morbid "We All Make the Flowers Grow"), Hazlewood is clearly having a good time relating the goings-on in his fictional hamlet (allegedly inspired by his Oklahoma hometown). Though he would soon venture outside of Western territory (to Sweden in fact), TROUBLE reveals that Hazlewood was charmingly at home in the dusty, sun-baked atmosphere ofthe genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 17 Feb 2003
By James Richardson (Manchester, LANCS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There are not words to describe how good this album is. It has a country and western vibe but this is enhanced greatly be Lee Hazelwoods black humor.
Listen to the incredibly upbeat song We All Make the Little Flowers Grow about death.
The music is fantastic, Lee Hazelwoods Guitar is brilliant throughout plus all of the other bizarre sounds going off in various tracks.
Whenever I need to smile this is the album that gets played.
