Genre: Easy listening
Places I remember: Graham Purdy collection.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: These Boots Are Made For Walkin' - Nancy goes for the sex kitten look in this great video - a precursor to Madonna, and the ensemble dance routine - a precursor to Michael Jackson and others. Pretty racy for the mid sixties!
Gear costume: As Tears Go By, Lies
Active compensatory factors: This album has always been in my consciousness - I can remember seeing this cover in my dad's record collection since I was 9 years old. It had zero impact on me! Just an album dad owned and a music style that I never liked.
Day Tripper is a good example: her version is Las Vegas lounge - dinner and a show style. An afront to the original. Zero sexuality!
This was her debut - an album that included Beatle/Stones/Dylan and three (THREE) Lee Hazlewood covers.
All are rended in that trademark cabaret style (the Dylan is a particularly uneasy version of It Ain't me, Babe);
Why Dad (or mum?) liked it, I'm not sure. I don't recall him playing the album but he must have at some stage.
Listening to it again in 2020, I remain unmoved, although I get the camp appeal. The back cover liner notes by Stan Cornyn are a hoot and although 'of their time', a great accompaniment to the hip sounds on offer.
Where do they all belong? It resides in the Easy Listening section along with dad's other albums.
