I really should dedicate my first post to the late Lee Hazlewood who's song 'The Night Before' inspired this blog with it's title, not becuase I usually wake up wearing stirrups, filled with remorse surrounded by empty whisky bottles on a beach in Sweden trying to remember the previous night/week...
This clip is from the Swedish TV special 'Cowboy In Sweden' which Lee made in 1970 when he moved to Stockholm. There's a lot of arty and meaningful horse riding going on in the show... and the cowboy/Sweden juxtaposition is a little odd to say the least. The album of Cowboy In Sweden is definitely one of my favorite Lee moments though, melancholy themes and even slightly haunting at times, the duet of Leather and Lace with Swedish hottie Nina Lizell rivals any Nancy and Lee ballad...
