“Dumb stuff, as Lee used to call it. Dumb doesn’t mean stupid. It means human and understandable. It was the sound of 3 guitars, drums, and bass. It was simple, very, very simple. I can still see the room, the studio. With Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, Donnie Owens. I can still see them all sitting there and chunking away. I guess simple was the best way to explain it, uncomplicated.” ~ Nancy Sinatra

Light in the Attic is proud to present the next installment of the Nancy Sinatra Archival Series with a deluxe reissue of Nancy’s 1st album, "Boots", to be released on September 17th, 2021.

The 1966 debut million selling debut album, introduced the sassy, blonde, go go booted icon. Built around her Lee Hazlewood penned hits, “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” and “So Long, Babe”, the folk rock era milestone album features songs by Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Hazlewood and more.

The catchy and jangly pop hooks performed by the famed Los Angeles session musicians, The Wrecking Crew, and Billy Strange’s innovative arrangements, provided the perfect sound to help Nancy capture the attention of the world. The new reissue includes 2 bonus tracks recorded during the album sessions, the non album b side “The City Never Sleeps At Night”, and the previously unreleased “For Some”.

Remastered from the original analog tapes by John Baldwin, the reissue is complemented by a new interview with Nancy and co-producer Hunter Lea.
