“It’s a place to be born and it’s a place to live, a place to die and be forgotten:” words bluntly spoken by Hazlewood at the culmination of his 1963 solo debut, Trouble Is A Lonesome Town, an album of hard-knock tales, railroad blues, outlaws, and beautiful troublesome women. Hazlewood delivers this album in a storytelling fashion, with narration between each song, all of which offer imagery of small-town middle America, in this case a town called “Trouble.” From the fantasy of escape, as heard on “Long Black Train,” to the tale of an outlaw’s son on “Son Of A Gun,” to the town’s prettiest cold-hearted woman on “Look At That Woman,” Hazlewood captures the gritty small-town cowboy blues with cool swagger. The John Wayne of song, Lee Hazlewood possessed true star quality, and it brilliantly shines on this release.
