Extraordinary producer, mentor to a young Phil Spector, producer of Duane Eddy, duet partner and songwriter for Nancy Sinatra (“Summer Wine,” “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” that says it all), a mysterious icon to many rock stars, the grumpy moustached man moved between pop and country throughout a modest career, yet one rich in essential records, including this very first solo effort. Baritone voice, precious arrangements of essential Americana, this concept album, which introduces the characters of a fictional town, is an unalterable masterpiece, here augmented with a few extra songs. A pure Western worthy of a John Ford, but in music. Pressed on gold vinyl.
