Hazlewood, Lee. Hard-drinkin’, ultra-manly producer of Native American extraction who first made his name working with twangy guitar slinger Duane Eddy and went on to become the premier auteur of Rat Pack– offspring kitsch, writing and producing material for Dino, Desi & Billy, and, most notoriously, for Nancy Sinatra (“These Boots Are Made for Walkin’”). Following a 1973 solo debut candidly titled Poet, Fool or Bum, Hazlewood moved to Sweden and made lousy movies. Currently living in America again, where his oeuvre has been lovingly reissued by a small label owned by Sonic Youth drummer and confirmed Rock Snob Steve Shelley.
