Hazlewood, Lee
13 (2lp)
Lee Hazlewood's 1972 album '13' sees a welcome reissue. This may very well be the strangest work in Lee's entire catalogue. The bombastic brass heavy funk, deep blues and soul paired with Hazlewood's subterranean baritone would be best enjoyed with a tall Chivas in an off-strip seedy Vegas lounge. Includes the original 1972 album, plus all of Larry Mark's acoustic demos and tracks from his unreleased 1970 LHI LP for the first time on vinyl. Previously unreleased session outtake of 'Cold Hard Times' plus demos of obscure Hazlewood compositions 'Drums', 'The - Start', 'Susie', 'Miracle on 19th Street' and 'Peppermint Morning'. Remastered by John Baldwin. Liner notes by reissue producer Hunter Lea including interviews with Larry Marks, Joe Cannon, Torbjörn Axelman and Suzi Jane Hokom.
