Lee Hazlewood

Funny you say psychedelic: there are patches on "Cake or Death" that sound like Sgt. Pepper with stretches of freaked-out classical music alongside country & pop. Hazelwood may have posed as a red neck, but he was really a high culture/low culture savant.

I'll leave it to others to assess his long & productive career. I'll only say that his last album "Cake and Death", made after his terminal diagnosis, is the best swan song since Warren Zevon's "The Wind." Hazelwood just did his thing & didn't give a f*** in the best kind way.
