Lee Hazlewood is best known for the hits he wrote and produced for Nancy Sinatra in the late ’60s: “These Boots are Made for Walking,” “Summer Wine” and the beautiful “Some Velvet Morning.” He also wrote the Dean Martin hit “Houston” and produced “Something Stupid” for Frank and Nancy Sinatra. Going further back, to 1957, Hazlewood figures as one of the pioneering producers in rock and roll, discovering and producing hits for guitarist Duane Eddy at a studio in Phoenix. The story goes that this studio had no echo chamber, so Hazlewood had one built from an old grain silo, and used it to great effect on Eddy’s guitar, and later on his own voice.
