By the end of the 1960s Lee Hazlewoods LHI Records had burned piles of cash, gone through a half dozen distributors and failed to achieve the kind of chart success Boots had promised. Fortunately for Lee there was a land where he was still on the top of the charts, a place where women flowed like Brannvin…Sweden was calling.

Released as the last LHI LP, Cowboy in Sweden was a soundtrack to the 1970 cult classic film of the same name starring Lee Hazlewood. The film was a surreal psychedelic account of Lees journey to his new homeland, while the soundtrack was a perfect compilation of Hazlewoods orchestral melancholy country pop songs. Recorded over a prolific globe trotting three year period, Lees peak on LHI records was ironically the labels swan song.
