5.0 out of 5 stars forgotten gems, 8 Mar 2007
By D. Meredith (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a purchase this was a bit of a gamble. I bought it on the strength of a chance hearing of `Summer Wine' on the radio. I was familiar with some of Nancy's hit records but this duet with Lee Hazelwood made me sit up and take notice. It was a gamble that paid off. Forget Elton and Kiki, these must be some of the best duets ever recorded.

The conventional wisdom is that Nancy couldn't sing and only got a chance because of her Father. That may be partly true but is a little unfair because Nancy has quite an expressive voice and provided it isn't pushed too hard like it is on `Fridays Child' then it's well worth listening to.

All the familiar hits are here so if you already like them you'll like the rest of the album. Although Nancy partners her father Frank on `Something' and Dean Martin on `Things' it's the duets with Lee Hazelwood that sparkle and it's obvious that they worked well together.

Summer Wine was familiar to me and as the second track it acts as a foretaste of things to come. Lee plays the role of a lonely hombre drifting into town looking for love and with Nancy suggesting he `take off those silver spurs and help me pass the time' You can use your own imagination from there!

It's the later part of the compilation that contained the surprises for me. `Some Velvet Morning' is the stand-out track and it's worth buying this compilation just for this. This is as far away from `Don't go breaking my heart as you could get being a carefully constructed and crafted song showing Lee Hazelwoods' writing and production skills at their best. It open with silky strings but with a key change the mood soon changes. Lee's plaintive and desperate vocal contrasts beautifully with Nancy's fairytale counterpoint and the way that the song switches between the two is superbly done. With it's references to Phaedra, a tragic figure from greek mythology this is pretty dark stuff!

The other duets `Lady bird' `Sand' and `Sundown Sundown' are not far behind in quality and well worth a listen. In particular Ladybird's beautiful orchestral arrangement of harp and shimmering strings creates a wonderful backdrop to another longing vocal from Lee.

At times the album goes over the edge into Schmaltz and sentimentality as in `Elusive Dreams' and `Storybook Children' and there are one or two forgettable tracks but overall it's a memorable album and will surprise you

There are some forgotten gems here and someone will have to bring them to the record buying public before too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boots and other classic songs, 30 Mar 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Nancy made many excellent records, as this compilation shows. All the essential tracks are here, including These boots are made for walking *an international number one hit), How does that grab you darling, Highway song and Sugar town. Among Nancy's other solo tracks is the James Bond song, You only live twice.

Nancy also had several big hits via duets with Lee Hazelwood. Did you ever was a British hit, while Summer wine, Jackson and Some velvet morning were American hits. Ladybird was a hit in both countries. Nancy's most famous duet is the one she did with her father, Something stupid.

This is a great introduction to her music, but does not display the full range of her talent - for example, she did a superb country album (Country my way) which is not represented on this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undiscovered Classic, 21 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Unlikely to appeal to any Morrisey fans (following a recent collaboration) but non the less a complete classic. It is quite clear that the combination of Nancy and Lee delivers a subverted twist on easy listening through tracks such as Some Velvet Morning or Summer Wine. If Tarantino ever puts one of these in a film then the trendies will fall over themselves to claim they always thought it was cool. Come on Quentin, let the world rediscover Nancy and Lee.
