Cake Or Death
Ever
COUNTRY/ROOTS
LEE HAZLEWOOD is legendary, a leading figure of the US pop culture since the 50's he's renowned for composing a diverse plateau of pop masterpieces ("These Boots Are Made For Walking" for NANCY SINATRA & "Some Velvet Morning" for VANILLA FUDGE)
'Cake Or Death' - a reference to Hazlewood's comic hero EDDIE IZZARD, is the title of what Hazlewood has declared will be his swan song, one last album that he wishes to bequeath to the world before he returns to the shadows out of which he was dragged in the '90s, following his rediscovery by an extraordinary range of contemporary artists such as BECK, PULP, SONIC YOUTH and NICK CAVE. His music has continued to become more and more fashionable, regularly turning up in films as diverse as The DUKES OF HAZZARD - which saw Jessica Simpson perform 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' for the title track & the arthouse flick MORVERN CALLAR - which used 'Some Velvet Morning' to great effect.
Like all of his albums, 'Cake Or Death' refuses to compromise Hazlewood's own musical choices for any reason, and the result is an exceptional record that draws together various strands of his life in a magical, unforgettable way. Rather than pull together a self indulgent list of admirers with whom to collaborate, HAZLEWOOD has assembled a cast of musicians with whom he has previously worked, promised to work, or wanted to work including DUANE EDDY, AL CASEY, RICHARD BENNETT, ANN KRISTIN HEDMARK and BELA B
The album contains new recordings of his classic tracks 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' and 'Some Velvet Morning'. This will be Lee's 26th studio album. This will be his last ever album.
Naturally, though, at the heart of the entire album lies Lee Hazlewood, displaying all of the charm and talent that has made him one of the most namechecked and influential artists in rock and roll history. It's one hell of a swansong. The man has never done things by halves
