Lee Hazlewood Interview 2006

[1969427STINGRAY]

Gillar skarpt!

[Quintus707]

@1969427STINGRAY samma här ^^

[DanndylionChild]

I am very glad there will be a documentary about his life. Can not wait to see it and hear all the great songs likely to be in the film.

[Larrymarx]

That 's a great story, as Johnny Carson would say.... "I did not know that" :-) LM

[MrJimmyfinlayson]

Listen to this man--he was one of the greats that were around the 60's music scene and why the music from that era is so gooooooooooood!

[DancingSpiderman]

REAL musicians back then. I was hoping they played it right through "Some Velvet Morning When I'm Straight -- Phaedra" the way Lee described it. I wonder how many takes a recording group would go through to get it right in 2011, if they even tried to do it as a group without cutting-n-splicing?

Lee Hazlewood is talking about this song:

watch?v=Sb-SVPJM4L4

[yourdickis2limp]

Lee Hazelwood died after getting buttphucked by his best friend Charles Nelson Reilly.

[ridgerunner721601]

I'm from southwest Louisiana and I'm thinking "Lee Hazlewood" sounds like somebody from around here. I just found out he grew up right across the Sabine River in Port Neches, TX east of Houston!!! LOL He was born in Oklahoma and lived all over the mid South, but the article says he spent his teen years in Port Neches. That's terrific....ha ha. RIP Lee. You are missed.

[jomjom1207]

"When im Straight" haha

[oOMadhuriOo]

Wow, 2006 at the age of 76 he was looking better than back in the 60ies ... Even though he was ill. But u cant c in the vid.

These bad things happened to my great ppl. It's a great pity.

[mrstevehartman]

Mister tough guy, now hes dead. Go figure ??

[Tabstarbelle]

LEE HAZELWOOD AND HIS VOICE AND TALENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY UNDER RATED !!! HE HAD A FABULOUS VOICE. FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVED THE VOICES OF DON WILLIAMS (POCO SECO SINGERS AND SOLO ), RICHARD STERBAN (OAK RIDGE BOYS), RANDY TRAVIS, AND JOSH TURNER...ALL BASS AND BARITONES ....SHOULD APPRECIATE THE VOICE WHO WAS AROUND IN THE SIXTIES MAKING MUSIC MANY OF US STILL ENJOY TODAY. LEE HAZELWOOD'S TALENT AND VOICE WAS GREAT. RECORDINGS I HAVE.....STILL GREAT. 

[moonwarrior5]

@Tabstarbelle your right but they say he did this to himself, He seems to be gaining a lot of popularity lately. Greatness never dies. But he sooo missed

[1emac1]

lee hazelwood talking about recording some velvet morning (with nancy sinatra). lee was grossly underrated as a singer/songwriter/musician

[pinescarpin]

SMOKING WITH TWO BOLLOCKS

[moonwarrior5]

His voice is magic forever, but more important was the orchestration in his songs so sublime, everything he touched was gold, I wonder who he is singing to in all those songs?

[Elegarret]

Спасибо, Lee, за Sammer vine.

[passionateaboutmusic]

Were Lee and Nancy ever romantically involved? They had such great chemistry! Just wondering.

[vdoengineer]

Great song writer, poor family man. Money will ruin even the best of talent out there.

[cruisinthemap]

@Dubiousjohnny, you are SO right! I was a teenager when he and Nancy were singing together. They were so good, that for a long time, I thought they were married. He was one of a kind, unless he sang with Nancy.....then, two of a kind!

[dwpool1962]

That was fantastic good job Thanks for puting it on

[Dubiousjohnny]

His lyrics and accompanying musicians were too good. With Nancy Sinatra they were an awesome duo.

[ANDPRY]

destroyed his voice with cigarettes

[MISSEDHERSIR]

Amazing, brilliant.

[lapzap56]

Lee had one of the best voices I ever heard in American music! His debut LP "Trouble Is A Lonesome Town" as a solo act in '63 is classic; as it tells you people never learn... It's a wonderful tale of the strange and funny people of Trouble (and maybe it's your hometown...)

[breimalislobodnoime]

And I always thought: here is a guy whose voice is nothing special (compare to Elvis, Cash, Jennings, others) but he uses it so well you forget all abouth it.

And he could make feelings show through the voice alone, and never sang a song which wasn't suited to his voice.

Why do you thing it is among best voices?

[lapzap56]

Like you said "he could make feelings show through" And the musicality in his voice is rare. In my view his is just as good as Elvis' and Frank Sinatra's. It's better than than Cash I think because he was more versatile in his music. He did jazz very well too. Just as he did country.

[backbonedrummer]

I love that time change!! wow!

[sirdoug3]

Lee Hazlewood's a genius songwriter!! - and a great singer! not known as well as should be! -

[feetlover18]

he was a alcoholic

[castillotruth]

I appreciate the music that people have made throughout their struggles with the bottle, or needle. But man, that stuff can kill you, especially alcohol. It's like a slow suicide.

[silverspaceflyer]

so fucking what !!! listen to his music dickhead !!!

[silverspaceflyer]

that last comment was in reply to feetlover18 . . . the name says it all, doesn't it . . .

[feetlover18]

the music he made was great

[hispapop]

NANCY SINATRA is great by herself and with Lee

[Lauraseyes]

Oh my, the first time I see him after he recorded any of his songs. Thank you so much for posting this!! After all these years

RIP Lee

[thefabulousthomasj]

Lee Hazelwood knew "what time it was". Thought of him recently when Phil Spector was finally convicted. Miss ya, Mr. H, and that's the truth.

[Ermengarde11]

Cool to hear Lee speaking about one of my favorite tunes! "And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra . . . "

[Kerrykatz4]

Lee was an amazing talent. Thank you for posting this for his fans.

[dragpackdale]

Too bad he could not give up  the smokes

[flobpera3]

he was fucking dying or inoperable cancer anyway that's why he didn't give up.

[UXB57]

Con man? who gives a fuck! He never conned me,and thats a cool interview.

[waddleduckie1]

Didn't know about his passing from cancer until I saw a video of Ms Sinatra talking about Lee Hazlewood.

[kaefer1302]

It´s good he made a song with Bela B, otherwise I wouldn´t have ever heard him. He´s nice to hear, like that bass voice.

[Ambersparkle]

This is a nice interview! He was great..

XOXO

[ryanspeed]

Amen, Lee!

Just to back up what you said at 2:18 most kids today couldn't tell a time signature if it walked up and kicked them in the ass!

Rest in Peace, Lee, you are missed!

[mattplatts1]

Amazing. Where can i see the rest of this?

[diddywahdaddy]

Wow.This is really something.The docu has got to be good when it gets out if this is supposed to be an OUTTAKE!Thomas was obviously able to make Lee talk about things from a past that he maybe wasn't that hot to talk about always,but Lee shows pride in this clip.There are some quite amazing stories about him on his last Scandinavian tour, either getting real mad backstage about getting questioned about his past(Sweden)or being your best buddy about it(Norway)on his last Scandinavian tour.Anyone?

[JCMcGee]

??? The drum pattern on the 6/8 bit is crap.

[k8gate]

"When I was straight.." <3 it!

[ronoman88]

Duane Eddy is a great guy and good guitar player. Value judgement? I didn't read the rule of No valid comments allowed on Dead people rule you made up for people like me who write things you don't like. Anyone who'd ask such things that must be like maybe Lee Hazlewood?

[madamelevy]

"I didn't read the rule of No valid comments allowed on Dead people rule you made up for people like me who write things you don't like."

valid = your opinion? enough of your nonsense. i see you have no videos of your own. go bother someone else, illiterate lumox. in the meantime, perhaps you should take a look at what duane has to say about lee so you don't look "the fool" again.

[ronoman88]

Lee Big Ego What a talentless ass----!

[madamelevy]

ronaman88: and you? what do you call people who make uninformed value judgments about dead people without ever having met them? who's next on your list, duane eddy?

[Zebonka]

Laughable comment.

[kockos]

hey ronoman88 are u disapointed in life or are u just a loser no talent?????

how can u talk shit about lee hazlewood?

i understand that u havnt had many woman in your life

i also understand that u are not the fittest person either,

u are just jealous

my spelling is not the best cus my mainlanguage isnt english but thats cool

[wildturkey1960]

Yeah, he got to sing with Frank's daughter. You really don't need much talent for that...

[shuffleknuckle5]

wildturkey1960 "Yeah, he got to sing with Frank's daughter. You really don't need much talent for that..."

Didn't he write the songs he sung with her? This guy was genius I reckon.

[wildturkey1960]

Oh, he was. And he will be missed.

[jay1743]

stupid cunt, how fucking thick are you? you sad american arse, have you no idea!? i doubt the man would wipe his boots on your face wanker.

[shuffleknuckle5]

Very thick thanks. But not half as thick as you obviously. American!! I wish. There is always one of your type on this site that cannot make his point without a line of expletives. I wonder if that is how you talk to people you meet in your everyday little life. I hope so and then somebody will bury you as deep as Lee.

[JesusChristsuxCocks]

@ronoman88 Lee Hazelwood had a bid ego and no talent,but his former Gay lover Charles Nelson Riley claims that Hazelwood had a 14 inch penis that would make John Holmes look like Adam Ant.

[DukeFame420]

@JesusChristsuxCocks Im interested in knowing more about this but i cant find any articles online could you send me a link or direct me somewhere to find out more?

[MrsBirminghamInHell]

@JesusiLoveCocks Haha he fucked your girlfriend back then right? LOL!

[Quintus707]

@JesusChristsuxCocks you're wrong in so manny ways, dude what did he ever do to you?

[Similie]

That is a good story!:-)

[wiksang]

Lee (and Nancy). You togheter did so much very good music.

By the way he did some very good music videos togheter with his son, in Let´s take a walk down by valhallavägen and at least but not the last, Siw Malmqvist ( summer wine)from his time in Sweden )!!

You will never be forgotten. You, all together did so much very good music.

[zubiac]

Lee the greatest artist and composer in a century.

pure awesomeness.

[gitsirius]

he was the shit.

[rafael28]

yea ive always wondered how the hell they switched time signatures so effortlessly, brilliant

[Zippertheslipper]

He still sounds the same, cool dude, rip.

[MoonliteJewel]

We were blessed with your talent RIP.

[ferraridinoman]

God dont you live daft people that smoke!? what a waste"!!!

[zubiac]

shut up

[JamesBum]

"..and watch the goddamn ending, it goes faster."

[GenericGene]

We were good he said - no were about it, he will always be remembered as one of the best -

[plazmow]

i'm so happy to have heard this mans voice with nancy and all the other women he sung with.

this is what life is all about!

plazmow

[itsrickinaz]

Lee and my father did some music together in the 60's.

I recently told my father he should make contact with some of his old friends before it's too late. Sadly Lee has passed on before they could hook up again. My father Greg Connor continues to write and record. gregconnor dot com Stop by his website and say hello if you remember him.

[paulthediver]

Goodye Lee Your music is forever

Trouble is little, and it's lonesome. You won't find it on any map but you can take three steps in any direction and you're there.

It's a place to be born and it's a place to live and it's a place to die and be forgotten

It's a town called Trouble and Trouble is a lonesome town.

[NickRatnieks]

"(Sooner or later) We all make the flowers grow". One of the songs from "Trouble is a lonesome town". A unique and massive talent. I for one, will keep playing the music- then of course there's the TWANG!

[boffthemonster]

A very underrated talent.Thanks for the memories Lee.God bless.

[Lonette]

The end of an era. Adios Senor Lee.

[IDOFILM]

Goodnight Lee and thankyou x

[sahajad]

Yeah Lee has got a superb voice.

[BootPatrol]

Lee will be missed, yet remembered fondly.

[boelin]

RIP Lee, you were one of a kind...

[Bobb9999]

Wikipedia's "Some Velvet Morning" entry says the original single was longer than the version that appeared on l.p.s [and on later versions of the single],and had an extra verse which began with "Some velvet morning when I rise, I'm gonna open up your eyes". It doesn't give the rest of the verse. Nor do any lyrics sites I can find. And the CD compilations I've heard only have the short version. Does anyone

know the original song?

[zubiac]

I saw a bootleg pop up in the internet a while back which said to contain the long version of somke velvet morning.

[se428bandit]

Lee,some velvet morning is WAY ahead of it's time.You are truly a genius.

[seltzerwater464]

Be strong, Lee --- you're the best!

[tattypatty]

A great fucking man. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.

[JasonzBrain]

Not throat cancer, unfortunately it's renal cancer (terminal). I do wish him the very best as well.

[zaragon59]

BIG HAND and BEST WISHES for a speedy recovery to BARTON LEE HAZLEWOOD!!

Zaragon

[BootPatrol]

Earlier today, I received word that Lee Hazlewood in undergoing treatment for, I believe, throat cancer.

I wish Barton Lee hazlewood all the best.

[BootPatrol]

Truly the genius, Lee Hazlewood, who worked with Duane Eddy, and saved Nancy Sinatra from obscurity!
