Nancy Sinatra Lightning's Girl

Exclusive 2005 Australian collection features tracks that span her entire career while the liner notes were written by influential Australian Journalist and unabashed fan, Dino Scatena. Nancy Sinatra's influence remains plastered all over modern day pop culture. For instance, director Quentin Tarantino recently explained that his latest films, Kill Bill 1 & 2, were directly inspired by listening to Nancy's version of the song 'Bang Bang'. Tarantino used that recording to open the movie. Nancy Sinatra is undeniably one of the greats and this is a great CD. This collection features all of her biggest hits 'These Boots Are Made for Walking', 'Lighting's Girl' and 'How Does That Grab You, Darlin'?'.

In 1967, Nancy Sinatra would continue her artistic ascent into the pop stratosphere with the James Bond You Only Live Twice theme song, the groovy technicolor television special, Movin' With Nancy, recording one of the most beloved duets of all time, "Some Velvet Morning," and a cross-country pilgrimage to the center of the country music scene. Nancy traveled to Nashville to cut her fifth album at RCA Studios, where many of the greatest country songs of all time were recorded. On Country, My Way, Nancy fuses her own personal style with country music, resulting in a new hybrid sound. Producer Lee Hazlewood called it "hippie-billy." While many people get credit for pioneering the contemporary country sound, like many milestones of the 1960s, Nancy was one of the first. Equal parts strong, sultry, and savvy, Nancy Sinatra has long been ahead of her time-both in her choices as an artist and as a businesswoman. Unapologetically, she established her own path early on and paved the way for decades of female artists to come-all while firmly maintaining control over her career, her image, and her music. In 1965, Nancy Sinatra changed the face of music, fashion, and culture.

Sugar was the fourth album recorded by Nancy Sinatra in 1966, an uncanny feat considering The Beatles were recording around two albums a year at the time. The iconic Ron Joy cover photo of Nancy in a pink bikini (the first on an album cover!) was a daring move in 1967 that helped propel the album to #18 on the charts (Nancy's second highest charting album after Boots). It is a peculiar record that pairs one of Nancy's biggest songs, "Sugar Town," with mostly 1920s compositions recorded in a contemporary Dixieland jazz pop fusion style that could have only been concocted by producer Lee Hazlewood.

Strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring…" were the immortal words sung by a twenty-five-year-old Nancy Sinatra on a frigid spring day in a London recording studio during the sessions for her third LP in four months! The 1966 album was cut in three days at Pye Studios where The Kinks, Petula Clark, and David Bowie recorded their songs in the mid-1960s. By going directly to the source and choosing songs like "On Broadway," "Wishin' and Hopin'," and "This Little Bird," the album has an unequivocally British feel. The LP includes the timeless Nancy & Lee Hazlewood duet "Summer Wine.
