"Light In The Attic's Lee Hazlewood Archive Series continues with an expanded reissue of Lee Hazlewood's debut album. Re-mastered from the original tapes, this is the first time Trouble Is a Lonesome Town has been available in its original mono mix since the 1960s. This is an essential purchase for Hazlewood fans or anyone curious about the man before the mustache. Originally released in 1963, Trouble... finds the bohemian cowboy sketching out a vivid picture of a backwater place named Trouble, where trouble with a small 't' is never far away. 'Trouble is little and it's lonesome,' he says, on the title track, 'you won't find it on any map, but you can take three steps in any direction and you're there.' Lee says plenty on the album. The first voice you hear is Hazlewood's spoken-word narration. It's a format the singer-songwriter would revisit frequently, introducing his stirring songs with a touch fireside storytelling in the rich, Texan drawl he'd tried hard to lose during years he was struggling to make it as an aspiring radio DJ. Each mini, pre-song poem seems to impart unexpected wisdom. Indeed, if the record sounds remarkably wise and mature for a debut album, Hazlewood was, of course, no spring chicken on making this debut. 34 years old at the time of the album's release, he was already a seasoned producer, writer and publisher with dozens of hits under his belt and a few singles under his own name and more under the pseudonym 'Mark Robinson' -- all of which are included here in this reissue."

"Previsão Do Tempo was originally released in 1973 and quickly became a favorite of Valle disciples. Still committed to political/cultural criticism through his music, Marcos was reaching a plateau in terms of sound and vision (Previsão Do Tempo sports an arresting sleeve shot of Marcos underwater and also features contributions from Waltel Branco and O Terco). Any way you spin it, Light in the Attic is proud to present Previsão Do Tempo as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign. Consisting of an ambitious string of early 1970s landmark studio sessions (sympathetic in spirit with Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye's game changing work from the same era), Previsão Do Tempo features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself. Fans new and old will finally have easy breezy access to these once hard-to-find Brazilian classics. Powered by the jazzy electronic feeling of Azimuth (thought by some to be Brazil's finest musical combo), Previsão Do Tempo is a highlight in the Valle discography and a welcome addition to any South American friendly record collection and sits proudly with the best of Brazil. File after Os Mutantes, but before Caetano Veloso."

"Originally released in 1972, Vento Sul not only channeled the Buzios beach bum vibe, but also manifested a floating dream like psychedelic sound. Any way you spin it, we at Light in the Attic are extremely proud to present Vento Sul as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign. Vento Sul features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself. Fans new and old will finally have easy breezy access to these once hard-to-find Brazilian classics. Elevated by a strong union between Valle and O Terco, Vento Sul's magical spell is a welcome addition to any South American friendly record collection and sits proudly with the best of Brazil. File after Os Mutantes, but before Caetano Veloso." CD version includes a bonus track ("O Beato").

"Garra was originally released in 1971 and brought us the rare groove classic 'Wanda Vidal,' heralded by UK, European, and Japanese music fans years after the disc's initial release. Amidst an intoxicating mix of instruments, vocals, and orchestration, it's a deep cut on an event deeper document. Any way you spin it, we at Light in the Attic are extremely proud to present Garra as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign. Consisting of an ambitious string of early 1970s landmark studio sessions (sympathetic in spirit with Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye's game changing work from the same era), Garra features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself. Fans new and old will finally have easy breezy access to these once hard-to-find Brazilian classics. Tackling topics like Presidential corruption, rampant consumerism, and the black power movement, Garra is a welcome addition to any South American friendly record collection and sits proudly with the best of Brazil. File after Os Mutantes, but before Caetano Veloso."

"Marcos Valle was originally released in 1970 and not only features a seductive cover image of Marcos reading the local papers with a bottle of liquor nearby, but a dynamic musical backing from some of Brazil's most gifted players. Hip-hop fans may even recognize the opening horn blasts of 'Ele E Ela,' which were sampled to great effect on Jay-Z's 'Thank You.' Any way you spin it, we at Light in the Attic are extremely proud to present Marcos Valle as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign.... features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself." CD version includes a rare bonus track.
