Reviews
4 stars (out of 5) - "...Quite a find....With the pathos of Johnny Cash and the soul-baring storytelling of Scott Walker, Lee's tales of empty whisky bottles and lost loves are refreshing...", "One of the three songs with Lizell, 'Hey Cowboy' has much goofy charm thanks to Hazlewood’s laconic hipster-on-a-horse routine...", "...combine the lyrics of a rugged, poetic spirit with the lush innovative recording techniques and arrangements of a suave songsmith. Imagine Willie Nelson, Burt Bacharach and Nico together in one studio, and you're almost there...", "...baroque C&W pop with a hint of Bergman, recommended to Nick Cave fans and Gainsbourg revivalists..." - Rating: B+, "...sweetening Hazlewood's creepy, weatherbeaten baritone with swathes of sentimental, muzaky strings, as he offers cold comfort for life's hardships...", "...Lyrically a dark and eerie album, COWBOY homogenized all of Hazelwood's musical styles: rockabilly, country, and contemporary pop, complete with strings and light horn arrangements..."
