Cowboy in Sweden is the soundtrack album to the 1970 television special of the same name starring Lee Hazlewood , released in 1970.[ 2] In 2016, the album was reissued by Light in the Attic Records with additional bonus tracks.[ 3]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "At its core, it's a collection of country and cowboy tunes, much like the work he did with Nancy Sinatra , but the production is cinematic and psychedelic, creating a druggy, discombobulated sound like no other."[ 2]
