You may have noted, it is quite warm. Heard this last night. Genius. Other perfect summer songs below, please.
Nancy and Lee in Las Vegas 1973
I’ve been enjoying some Lee Hazlewood tracks lately and stumbled over this on YouTube. Filmed as Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra performed a residency in Vegas it also features Ma Sinatra and various unintentionally hilarious flunkies and hangers-on. Lee is in great voice
Dylan’s Shadows of the Night Revisited
I’ve had a shit of a week. Work has been quite unpleasant. Just emerging out of the tunnel after a virus and I’ve got the heater on, it is 16 degrees outside , yesterday was 32 and it is supposedly the start of summer.
So what to put on ? Why not that Bob Dylan bloke? Why not the record you bought and have kept in the current play rack rather than filing in the big box? Yep good idea, and a glass of red too.
So on it goes and it is just the ticket.
Superb song selection, great band ,great recording. AAAHHHH but the voice, I hear you say. Well here is the thing, tonight, I’m not up for some master like Frankie gliding over the notes,making the caper sound oooh so easy. No here is Bob, great phrasing, great diction but just struggling in his life worn, cigarette ravaged voice just struggling to make the notes just get close to them.
Yep croaky melancholy, at certain times, is just the ticket.
Nancy Sinatra – They don’t make them like that anymore….
Just heard Nancy Sinatra talking on Radio 4 Womens Hour (same programme as @badartdog is listening to) – she was great (good programme by the way -Cerys Matthews, Pauline Black, Emily Eavis, Nadine Shah also on).
I was 9 when this came out and just kinda liked the song. Now – Lordy, Lordy….
