Hamilton Streetcar's Invisible People and The Aggregation's Flying High are both psychsploitation gold.

Just found it under Lee Hazlewood, didn't seem to be hiding anymore, at least from the Spotify search function. So far seems to be a whole pocket universe of undiscovered countrified psych-pop in which Serge Gainsbourg meets Kris Kristofferson.

Yup. I like how "Dark End of the Street" threatens to turn into "River Deep, Mountain High."

I think I need to check what the 305 tracks are. Me too! But yeah, the Spotify version is what I have, and enough for now (maybe...) Best way to find it: put the main part of the title, There's A Dream I've Been Saving.

"Dark End": yeah, was thinking he and A-M were getting all turned on by the danger, and then he bleats, "Aw, let 'em find us"---the jaded cowpoke, mebbe fixing to mosey on, or just country-fatalistic about the available thrills and spills (reminds me of Lou Reed at times).

The CD version also includes the first legit DVD of his movie, Cowboy In Sweden; haven't seen that. LITA site doesn't seem to specify what the other tracks (incl 17 LPs and many 45s) are, on the deluxe ed.'s data discs. Oh well. They do provide a trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgQ1tdmn-Jo

How is the book? I already have most of the previous reissues, but the book is the one thing that could get me to plunge into the LITA box.

I can't pay $89 for a book no matter how awesome it looks. It's a sign of my mental illness that I'm like maybe I should pay double that for a DVD stuffed with songs basically plus a book lol. :-\

The book is beautiful and elegantly written but maybe not worth $89. THe boxset is the biggest one I own - it's a beast.
― Deafening silence (DL), Monday, 9 December 2013 10:02 (ten years ago) link
Afraid to see the video of Cowboy in Sweden, because I've already made such a video for it in my head. It's solidly in the the form of a corny variety show sketches, a la Sonny & Cher and Donnie & Marie, providing maximum contrast with the high craft of the songs.

A COWBOY IN NEW YORK — Wyndham Wallace recalls his first encounter with the legendary Lee Hazlewood in 1999 and NME's Tony Stewart talks Nancy Sinatra and more with Lee in 1971. PLUS exclusive audio of "the ol' sonofabitch" talking about his early years in Oklahoma… That last is an epic mp3 talk with/to/at Barney Hoskyns. You gotta go here and scroll down through this vast trove of freebies, also register, but it worked pretty well for me: http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Free

We are so very excited to announce the next release in our Lee Hazlewood archival series, The Sweet Ride: Lost Recordings 1965-68, a new compilation of demos, outtakes, and home recordings from Lee’s most prolific and successful era. https://t.co/276FrR2dIb pic.twitter.com/ITZwoh44g6— Light In The Attic (@lightintheattic) July 29, 2022

For a long time I thought that the Belly song “Sweet Ride” was a Lee Hazlewood composition bc I’m absolutely certain I saw it erroneously credited as such somewhere. As is clear from this new comp, Lee’s “Sweet Ride” is an entirely different song. Funnily enough though, Belly’s song sounds very much like it could be a Hazlewood tune.
My pick for underrated Hazlewood composition is “In Our Time,” recorded by him and later, with bowdlerized lyrics, by Nancy Sinatra.
― Josefa, Saturday, 30 July 2022 17:15 (one year ago) link
"For A Day Like Today" was my top Spotify song a couple of years ago.
You probably already knew this, but the Sweet Ride film had another perspective theme song written & recorded by Moby Grape which they mime to in the film.
