Never heard of Lee Hazlewood, one of America's strongest composers? He has lots of great songs imo, but here is the song that got him the most recognition, a song entitled "One Velvet Morning". (www.youtube.com)

This guy has a rather lengthy discography. Seems he grew up in Texas, and started recording in the 50s. He became known for his bass voice and storytelling. He recorded songs for like 15 years before he recorded this with Nancy Sinatra. I already know that "One Velvet Morning" is trippy; Hazlewood keeps talking about "when he's straight", which suggests gay stuff, but these are 1968 (or thereabouts) lyrics; so, Hazlewood imo is probably referring to moments of sobriety. He eventually even named his daughter "Phaedra". I'm hoping this song will motivate some of you to get into his other songs. As far as song composition is concerned, check out the liberty he enjoys in changing tempos and/or time signatures.
