Synopsis
Lee Hazlewood is a cult songwriter, part cowboy poet and part dropout mystic. In 1965, he helps Nancy Sinatra find her voice—and then ghosts her when “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” hits #1. Disillusioned with the music business, Lee starts LHI Records: a misfit label where he produces psychedelic honky-tonk and gives fringe acts their moment in the reverb. But the industry closes in, his relationships unravel, and his young son risks being drafted. So Lee skips town. He relocates to Sweden—cold, quiet, and strange. There, he records experimental records by candlelight, makes a surreal cowboy TV special with an avant-garde director, and tries, awkwardly, to be a father. Haunted by his past and visited by hallucinated muses, Lee finally begins to confront what he’s been running from: not failure, but intimacy.
