One of three perhaps shadily released Lee Hazlewood compilations -- for which Hazlewood's LHI logo is used, hopefully by LHI themselves -- Love and Other Crimes is essential for Hazlewood fans. It spends a generous amount of time cribbing from Hazlewood landmarks like his MGM gems, Lee Hazlewood-ism: Its Cause and Cure and The Very Special World of Lee Hazlewood. (Ironically, his first solo album, which was also titled Love and Other Crimes, has only three inclusions here.) Much of that material was later plowed by Ace's two-disc compilation, but Love and Other Crimes remains an excellent source for a parade of Hazlewood material.
