...mind and the craw. His brilliant anthem-Okie from Muskogee-became a rallying cry for those who were disgusted by the "hippies out in San Francisco" smoking marijuana and burning draft cards. His next patriotic volley had this chorus: "When they're runnin' down my country, man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me." And so when I heard that Haggard had written a song endorsing Hillary Clinton for President, which you can hear him sing on TIME.com, I was more than curious about the motivation for his apparent left turn. And Merle let me know that...
...BEST KNOWN AS THE guru who launched Nancy Sinatra's career by writing and producing the racy, iconic tune These Boots Are Made for Walkin', a No. 1 hit for Sinatra in 1966. Yet a decade earlier, the work of Lee Hazlewood (below) was drawing attention from a young Phil Spector, who was intrigued by the hit sounds Hazlewood created for teenager Duane Eddy, using a grain elevator to create reverb and twang. The anti-Establishment artist, who helped spur country-pop, shunned fame by escaping to Sweden in the '70s. But by the '90s the master of "cowboy psychedelia...
...GOOD EFFORT FROM DYLAN beats a great one from most other musicians, which is why this least interesting of his still-got-it-era albums belongs with 2006's best. Barely.

Her narcissism might have been leavened by good songs, but most are content to rip off tunes from older, better hits. (Walkin' Round in a Circle is credited as containing "interpolations from Dreams," written by Stevie Nicks. Interpolations? Between You & I--which should be Me, but never mind--is an uncredited rip of Unchained Melody.) A Public Affair is a titillating glimpse of Simpson, but it provides no evidence that she knows or cares...
...away from or being kicked out of schools, more than a dozen of them. It made her wise for her age, and she delivers her reflections on everyday life in natty couplets. Allen sings over the sunny Caribbean vibe of LDN, "There was a little old lady, who was walkin' down the road, She was struggling with bags from Tesco/ There were people from the City having lunch in the park/ I believe that it's called alfresco." The little old lady then gets mugged. Allen bemoans modern life over hyper '60s pop on Everything's Just Wonderful...
