About this item

After three years in the spotlight and at the forefront of pop music, Nancy Sinatra found herself in an unexpected yet familiar position — much like in early 1965. She was once again without a producer, without new songs, and fighting to stay on her label.

Lee Hazlewood had been Nancy’s producer, duet partner and he had written many of her hits. After an unbelievable three-year run of hits, Lee suddenly moved to Sweden without saying goodbye. Nancy was surprised and hurt, but she kept moving and evolving. She found a producer in her longtime arranger Billy Strange and discovered a young songwriter (and future superstar) named Mac Davis, who would help redefine her sound.

Simply titled 'Nancy', this album sits alone in her discography, hidden between her iconic 1960s albums and her funkier 1970s work. The album features country fried soul ('God Knows I Love You', 'Son of a Preacher Man'), timeless ballads ('Memories') and a breathtaking orchestral, bluesy, downtempo funk version of The Doors’ 'Light My Fire' that sounds like David Axelrod in Las Vegas, in the best possible way. It’s a transitional album, her swan song for Reprise Records, a fan favourite of the faithful and ripe for rediscovery.
