Mellow grooves, rockin' country & psychedelia at its best!, December 9, 1999
Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood may seem like an unlikely pair to collaborate on duets, yet one could not do without the other. Lee helped to make Nancy a star, and Nancy returned the favor by asking Lee to sing with her on songs that are now viewed as masterpieces in their own right. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," is a lethargic, mellow, groovy piece of art, which is, in turn, followed by the pleasing "Elusive Dreams" and the foot-stomping "Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman." Within the first three songs, you have apretty good example of Nancy & Lee's work, each a different genre mastered to perfection. All the hits are included here. "Summer Wine" is brilliant. "Jackson," their highest-charting Billboard hit is a rousing country number done perfectly. Both "Sand," and the eclectic, mesmerizing "Some Velvet Morning" demonstrate their versatility even moreso, as these songs delve into the musical genre of sixties psychedelia. No CD collection is complete without this.

Just thought you'd like to know . . . , January 5, 2006
Let me preface this by saying this is a wonderful compilation of the best of Nancy and Lee, but no matter how great the music is it's not worth dropping 80 to 100 dollars on. Thankfully, you can get all of these songs as well as the rest of the "Nancy and Lee Again" album tracks for around $20 on I-Tunes. I don't want to use a review space to advertise something else, but I realize a lot of people would love to have these songs and (like me) think the current asking price is rather, um, high. Plus, you will get the tracks for "Nancy and Lee" and "Nancy and Lee Again" in the original order if that's important to you. Oh, and it's remastered. Why they don't just rerelease both these albums on cd is beyond me, but for now I-Tunes has it. Just thought you'd like to know:)

Magical World of Nancy and Lee, May 21, 2002
Once upon a time, I was a kid listening to my parents' LP, "Nancy & Lee". Her voice was light and airy, his a low growl -- together, they wove a spell. One of the strongest songs is the rarely-heard "Summer Wine," a duet between Lee as a rugged cowboy and Nancy as an elusive temptress. Continental Airlines includes this track on their "summer" background music -- the songs playing as you board the planes in Houston during the months of June, July and August. Hearing it on the plane, I was reminded of the songs from my childhood and set off on a search to find them. Success at last, when I located this CD on Amazon.com. The CD brings back those songs from the "Nancy & Lee" record, plus a few added tracks. Their contrasting voices work well on "Sundown, Sundown" as well as country classics like "Jackson" and "Elusive Dreams." The Hazlewood-penned lyrics of "Some Velvet Morning", "Sand" and "Ladybird" are vague and alluring, drawing us into a magical world. It's good to know that world is still there, and I can go back....
