.. Walkin': Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978 |
| | Description: | Light in the Attic continues to celebrate the influential career of singer, actress, activist, and icon Nancy Sinatra with a captivating new collection, Keep Walkin??: Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978. Exploring the lesser-known gems from Sinatra??s rich catalog through 25 B-sides, rare singles, covers, demos, and previously-unreleased recordings, Keep Walkin?? was remastered by the GRAMMY®-nominated engineer John Baldwin and available in a variety of formats, including vinyl and CD.
The 2-LP set, pressed at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI), is presented in an expanded gatefold jacket and accompanied by a 24-page booklet (also included in the CD edition as a 40-page booklet), featuring an array of photos from the artist??s personal collection, as well as a new in-depth Q&A with Sinatra, conducted by the reissue??s GRAMMY®-nominated co-producer, Hunter Lea. The booklet also contains a fascinating interview with keyboardist Don Randi (The Wrecking Crew), who recently spoke to Lea about his hit-filled career and his 50 years of work with Nancy.
Keep Walkin??: Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978 serves as a companion to the widely-acclaimed 2021 career-spanning retrospective, Start Walkin?? 1965-1976, and marks the latest release in LITA??s ongoing Nancy Sinatra Archival Series, a partnership with the legendary artist, which honors her musical legacy through lovingly curated reissues (including her 1966 debut, Boots and the 1968 classic, Nancy & Lee), limited-edition merch, and other special releases.
??This compilation is a celebration of some of the many glorious recordings that may have been overlooked, forgotten, or never even released at the time. The obscurity of some of these recordings doesn??t mask the genius, brilliance, and effort that went into them; on the contrary, it??s incredible to learn that some of the lost gems are just as rich as the national treasures.?
Among the highlights is the spritely opener ??The City Never Sleeps at Night,? which served as the B-Side to ??These Boots Were Made for Walkin??.? Overshadowed by the colossal success of its A-side, it??s no surprise that the cinematic tune never had its proper due. Yet, Lea reveals, Hazlewood initially intended to make it the focus single. Another long-lost B-side is ??The Last of the Secret Agents?,? which was paired with the Top 10 hit, ??How Does That Grab You, Darlin???? The playful song, written by Hazlewood, served as the theme to the 1966 comedy of the same name, in which Sinatra co-starred alongside Marty Allen and Steve Rossi.
Keep Walkin?? also features several choice A-sides that were never included on albums and were overlooked for one reason or another. Among them is 1966??s ??In Our Time,? a rebellious anthem for ??60s youth, which references drug culture and women??s liberation, among other topics. Speaking to the Hazlewood-penned track, Sinatra recalls, ??That was a fun song. Lee was starting to do his ??anti?? stuff. He was cynical and it showed in his writing at some point.? But, despite the themes of the song, Nancy laments that she was never embraced by the counterculture. ??[drugs] knocked me out of the picture completely. I was so far removed from the hip people in those days.
I think they probably made fun of my stuff.?
Another stylistic departure for both artists is ??Love Eyes,? a bluesy, soulful single from 1966. The song, Nancy shares, is ??one of my favorites. I think what helped Lee??s writing at that point was the bigger sound.? I really love it. I think it holds up to this day.? She adds that her dreamy vocal performance was inspired by early female R&B stars like Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker.
The collection also features several outstanding covers, including a previously-unreleased rendition of the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil classic, ??I Just Can??t Help Believing? (a hit for both B.J. Thomas and Elvis Presley). This 1978 recording, reimagined as a duet, marked one of Sinatra??s brief reunions with Hazlewood, following his abrupt move to Sweden not long after 1972??s Nancy & Lee Again. Another choice track finds Nancy interpreting Neil Diamond??s ??Glory Road.? Released as a single in 1971, it features one of the singer??s most cherished vocal performances. ??After I worked on my voice and improved as a performer and as a singer, I embraced Neil Diamond. Anything I did by Neil Diamond, to me, is my best work.?
Nancy also looks back fondly on her moving rendition of Bill Withers?? ??Ain??t No Sunshine,? released in 1973 as the B-side to ??Sugar Me.? The recording (which features particularly lush orchestral arrangements by Billy Strange) reunited Nancy with another close collaborator, Jimmy Bowen, who produced the singer in the early ??60s and later introduced her to Hazlewood. ??I love Jimmy,? she declares. ??The records we did early on?had a depth to them that I appreciated. He heard me and saw me in a different light; he saw me as a much more serious performer, which I appreciated.?
Listeners will also be delighted to hear a pair of previously-unreleased demos: ??Something Pretty? (the 1968 country hit, made famous by Wynn Stewart) and the theme to the 1965 Richard Rogers/Stephen Sondheim musical, Do I Hear a Waltz?, both of which were intended for a self-described ??disco? record. Despite the two catchy takes featured on Keep Walkin??, Sinatra calls the shelved album ??A disaster. I called it the disco fiasco!? - ..
