NANCY SINATRA "the very best of..." cd,2005.
to be honest i never used to give nancy a second thought, was convinced she only got where she got through her famous father, and was never really impressed with her vocals,i thought they were flat and unobtrusive to say the least....but time has changed my opinion of her and her talent, still not sure if she'd have been given the chance if not for Frank's "reprise records" label, but hey, she had numerous hits back in the day, and at a time when it was pretty hard, she had to compete with Beatles,Stones and the whole Motown thing that was happening....
also, i love Lee Hazelwood's vocal quality, i fing it to be somewhere between Nick Cave and John Cash...obviously one of those aquired tastes IMO.
anyway, all up, some bloody good songs on here, from her signature tune "boots" through to her cover of Aussie songstress Kasey Chambers' early 2000s hit 'barricades & brickwalls'.
so difficult to pick a favourite here, could have been 'these boots..','sugar town','lightning's girl',even 'summer wine', but ive got to go with 'some velvet morning' on this occasion asits always been a favourite radio song of mine...
