| You won't find it on any map but take a step in any direction and your in Trouble |
As far back as 1963 in fact and the masterpiece that is Trouble is a Lonesome Town by the late great Lee Hazlewood.
It is a story teller's album featuring a number of country cowboy ballads with a narrative preamble concerning the fictitious town of Trouble - "nothing with a railroad running through it" and is loosely based on his birthplace
It is like a spoken and singing version of a William Faulkner novel or a Coen Brothers film just dripping with atmosphere.
Re-released in 2013 by Light in the Attic records with extra tracks including his work with Duane Eddy and a six part narrative related by the man himself - well worth checking out
