My Take

Hazlewood is one of my favorite unsung architects of sound. The Oklahoma-born producer wrote and shaped Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made for Walkin' and built much of the late-'50s and '60s sonic landscape, including his pioneering guitar work with Duane Eddy. He sang, wrote songs, and even scripted, but what I love most is his craftsman's instinct to design the music rather than chase the limelight. That deep baritone and crooked sense of humor still sound startlingly fresh today. He passed in 2007, yet to me he remains a timeless sonic artisan whose fingerprints are all over American pop.
