By the end of the 1960s Lee Hazlewood’s LHI Records had burned piles of cash, gone
through a half dozen distributors and failed to achieve the kind of chart success “Boots”
had promised. Fortunately for Lee there was a land where he was still on the top of the
charts, a place where women flowed like Brännvin...Sweden was calling.
Released as the last LHI LP, Cowboy in Sweden was a soundtrack to the 1970 cult classic
film of the same name starring Lee Hazlewood. The film was a surreal psychedelic account
of Lee’s journey to his new homeland, while the soundtrack was a perfect compilation of
Hazlewood’s orchestral melancholy country pop songs. Recorded over a prolific globe
trotting three year period, Lee’s peak on LHI records was ironically the label’s swan song.
