Nancy Sinatra trades her go-go boots for cowboy boots on Country, My Way, a pop-country platter featuring Sinatra's interpretations of country hits. "Jackson," a cover of the Johnny Cash and June Carter hit that she performs as a duet with producer Lee Hazlewood, was released as a single and made the Top 20. Every pop vocalist from Ed Ames to Margaret Whiting cut an album of country songs, but Hazlewood had an ear for country music and brought in real Nashville session players for authenticity. Hazlewood's style was half country to begin with, so the album isn't much of a stretch for Sinatra. Many of the songs come from the pop end of the country field: Skeeter Davis' "End of the World" nearly topped the pop chart, and it seems as though practically everyone recorded Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me" in the '60s. Hazlewood contributed only one song, "By the Way (I Still Love You)," but his presence is felt strongly throughout.

Track Listing:
Side One: IT'S SUCH A PRETTY WORLD TODAY / GET WHILE THE GETTIN'S GOOD / WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME / JACKSON / WHEN IT'S OVER
Side Two: LAY SOME HAPPINESS ON ME / LONELY AGAIN / BY THE WAY (I STILL LOVE YOU) / OH LONESOME ME / END OF THE WORLD / HELP STAMP OUT LONELINESS

LABELS: The labels are clean and bright with no marks/unwanted writing and just few light spindles (please see close-up photo of label)
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains its beautiful deep glossy sheen with just some light 'misting' but is otherwise unmarked - this 'misting' has no audio consequence - the playback is superb throughout
VINYL Audio: The record is impressively produced and recorded with a strong crystal clear and fresh sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing and it's always a pleasure to return to this one - I love this LP) there are no scratches, sticks or jumps and just the occasional light 'click' on Side Two, Side One plays flawlessly but these 'clicks' are not continuous and they present nothing I found at all intrusive on play-grading this wonderful album). The whole LP sounds great and plays to a very high standard with superb clarity, no distortion and no groove-wear and is critically graded NEAR MINT/ EXCELLENT for audio - superb copy of a mighty fine LP - very highly recommended
SLEEVE: The original front laminated flipback sleeve is in NEAR MINT condition. The front laminate has a beautiful deep gloss with very little rubbing and the unlaminated back is clean and fresh with no damage to the flipback sections. All edges are crisp and square and the spine is sharp with all text clear and bold - lovely example
and the original Reprise company inner is superb with no splits to the edges, just some light creasing
