Sooner or Later, We All Make the Little Flowers Grow: Lee Hazlewood
Lee Hazlewood died this weekend at age 78. Like Roger Miller and Harry Nillson, he was a singer-songwriter who couldn't easily be categorized.Most famous for the songs he wrote for Nancy Sinatra, like "These Boots Are Made for Walking" and "Some Velvet Morning", Hazlewood was reluctant to be in the spotlight until Sinatra insisted. After that, his solo work became even harder to define, but was always striking.

His music began to attract renewed interest after his career slowed down in the 70's and 80's, and he released an acclaimed album, "Cake or Death?" last year, after discovering he had kidney cancer. He was a cool dude.
