Barton Lee died a couple years back of kidney cancer but not before leaving us a legacy of darkly charming and shruggingly unabashed music that spans his production of
Duane Eddy's twangy guitar and saxtrumentals to many solo masterpieces, including his final work,
Cake or Death. This song is a single from 1973's
"Poet, Fool, or Bum", and of course is about his time with
the Pope's Daughter,
Nancy Sinatra, who he wrote and produced "These Boots are Made for Walking" and "Some Velvet Morning" for and with. Like everything with Lee, this song is not as sweet as it seems, and he offers no answers.
Lee Hazlewood
"Nancy and Me"
