Sinatra, Nancy – Boots [Baby Blue Swirl] – New LP
If you are wondering where to enter the Nancy Sinatra catalog, you simply have to look right here! Nancy 1966! This is where it begins (and amazingly she released 2 more records--maybe 3 more--this same year.) While I'd have to argue that her catalog was varied, this album is essential. -- winch
“Dumb stuff, as Lee used to call it. Dumb doesn’t mean stupid. It means human and understandable. It was the sound of three guitars, drums, and bass. It was simple, very, very simple. I can still see the room, the studio. With Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, Donnie Owens… I can still see them all sitting there and chunking away. I guess simple was the best way to explain it, uncomplicated.” – Nancy Sinatra
The 1966 million-selling debut LP introduced the sassy, blonde, go-go booted icon. Built around her Lee Hazlewood-penned hits “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” and “So Long, Babe,” the folk-rock era milestone album features songs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Hazlewood, and more. The catchy and jangly pop hooks performed by famed Los Angeles session musicians The Wrecking Crew and Billy Strange’s innovative arrangements provided the perfect sound to help Nancy capture the attention of the world. The new reissue includes two bonus tracks recorded during the album sessions, the non-album b-side “The City Never Sleeps At Night” and the previously unreleased “For Some.” Remastered from the original analog tapes by GRAMMY®-nominated engineer John Baldwin, the reissue is complemented by a new Q&A interview with Nancy and GRAMMY®-nominated reissue co-producer Hunter Lea.
Presented in an expanded gatefold jacket featuring a 20-page booklet.
