Light In The Attic Records is proud to present Nancy Sinatra: Start Walkin 19651976. The definitive new collection surveys Sinatras most prolific period over 19651976, including her revered collaborations with Lee Hazlewood, over 23 tracks. Remastered from the original analog tapes by GRAMMYnominated engineer John Baldwin, the collection is complemented by liner notes penned by Amanda Petrusich (author and music critic at The New Yorker), featuring insightful new interviews with Sinatra, as well as a Q&A with archivist and GRAMMYnominated reissue co-producer, Hunter Lea. The CD edition comes housed in a 7×7 hardcover book (featuring 64pages) and the two-disc vinyl set is presented in a gatefold jacket (featuring a 24page booklet). Nancys performance of the Lee Hazlewoodpenned song These Boots Are Made for Walkin was a huge hit in 1966 and became her signature tune. The pair began a three year run of successful albums, duets, and singles including Sugar Town, Some Velvet Morning, Summer Wine, Sand, Jackson, and the title track to the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice. Start Walkin explores Nancys recordings with Lee, her inspired collaborations with songwriter Mac Davis (Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham), producer Lenny Waronker (Hook and Ladder), and the shouldve been hit song with arranger/producer Billy Strange (How Are Things In California.) Over the years, she has been cited as an influence by countless artists, including Sonic Youth, Morrissey, Calexico, U2, and Lana Del Rey. Her haunting song Bang, Bang gained a new legion of fans when it appeared in the opening credits of Quentin Tarantinos 2003 film, Kill Bill Volume 1.
