Being the daughter of the most iconic American singer of his generation must not have been easy. But Nancy Sinatra managed to carve out a respectable career as a pop singer from the mid-‘60s and into the ‘70s, starting with her smash hit “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.”
That song was written by eccentric songwriter Lee Hazlewood, whose music has been labeled both “cowboy psychedelia” and “saccharine underground,” two descriptions that seen disparate but do somehow manage to convey a sense of his style. Hazlewood wrote a substantial number of Nancy Sinatra’s better songs; together they recorded many duets, releasing albums both individually and as a duo.
The playlist here focuses on the best of Nancy’s ‘60s output, with a nice sampling of her work with Hazlewood, plus other songs—including her hit duet with her daddy, Frank.
Listen to more of Lee Hazlewood’s output here (coming soon).
