Lee Hazlewood – Cowboy In Sweden (Deluxe Edition)

Description

Double LP expanded edition includes outtakes, demos and instrumentals, including 10
previously unreleased recordings. 26 total tracks.

By the end of the 1960s Lee Hazlewoods LHI Records had burned piles of cash, gone
through a half dozen distributors and failed to achieve the kind of chart success Boots
had promised. Fortunately for Lee there was a land where he was still on the top of the
charts, a place where women flowed like Brannvin…Sweden was calling.

Released as the last LHI LP, Cowboy in Sweden was a soundtrack to the 1970 cult classic
film of the same name starring Lee Hazlewood. The film was a surreal psychedelic account
of Lees journey to his new homeland, while the soundtrack was a perfect compilation of
Hazlewoods orchestral melancholy country pop songs. Recorded over a prolific globe
trotting three year period, Lees peak on LHI records was ironically the labels swan song.
