“Some Velvet Morning” #26 2/10/1968

Some songs are quite polarizing - you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. I rather like this Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood duet, which has sometimes been called “cowboy psychedelia.” The tune oozes sexuality, conjuring up Clint Eastwood with a five-day stubble and lighting a smoke while leaving a Mexican gal’s boudoir. The song structure is very odd, as the male part is in 4/4 and the female part is in 3/4 (waltz) time. Certainly one of the spaciest songs ever, and a Wrecking Crew effort.
