Lee Hazlewood – 13 (Deluxe Edition)

Description

Pimps whores pushers dopers gangsters and bottom of the human chain shit-heels. Now youre probably thinking Im writing about major record companies and their unscrupulous executives and lawyers. You could be right but this time YOURE WRONG! Im describing the characters in my album 13 Some I knew some I invented some are true some are false some I liked some I didnt. But they all had a story to tell and I told itnone of em seem to care and I dont either have fun” – Lee Hazlewood

He (Lee) took my voice off the album and put his voice on the album. Now dont forget these were in my keys, it was my charts, it was my everything. Lee Hazlewood was not even remotely going to be considered as an artist for this album and thats the way he wanted it. – Larry Marks

The album 13 was never supposed to be a Lee Hazlewood album. It is perhaps the strangest record in one of the most varied discographies in music. The Bombastic brass heavy funk, deep blues and soul paired with Hazlewoods subterranean baritone would be best enjoyed with a tall Chivas in an off-strip seedy Vegas lounge. By 1972 Lee Hazlewood had settled in his new homeland of Sweden. His days were spent carousing, making movies with Torbjrn Axelman and releasing albums. To keep up his prolific recorded output, Lee began to mine the recently defunct LHI Records archives for material. One such gem, was an unreleased album by Larry Marks (LHI producer, artist and the voice of the first Scooby-Doo theme). Larrys concept was to take Hazlewoods strongest compositions and arrange them in a soul vibe. An album was completed, but with no distribution in America and no funding, Lee had no vehicle to release Larrys record. The tapes were taken to Sweden, Larrys voice was wiped and Hazlewoods was dubbed 13 was born.
