Rare Sinatra

There's something charming that a star with the heft of Nancy Sinatra has a website that looks like it was knocked together as a school project in the early years of the decade; even more charming is the news of Cherry Smiles.

It's a self-released collection of stuff that previously had only come out on dusty 45 RPM singles (they were dusty when they were delivered to the shops; it was in the contract). Obviously, Lee Hazlewood pops up, but so too does Ry Cooder and Duane Eddy. Digital-only, you can buy it at Amazon.

Sorry, Ry?

We're not sure, but we could have sworn that Ry Cooder just implied that he knew President Bush stole the last two elections because his imaginary talking hobo cat would have been able to see right through it.

We'll need to listen again when the interview turns up on the Today website after nine o'clock.
