Adam Green & Binki Shapiro - "Here I Am"

Adam Green plays Lee Hazlewood to Binki Shapiro's Nancy Sinatra on the gorgeous throwback duet "Here I Am," the first peak at the pair's forthcoming January 29th-due debut. Building from sparse plucks of acoustic guitar to a grand orchestral chorus doused in deep exhales of strings and brass, "Here I Am" sounds like a lost cut from the 1968 Nancy & Lee sessions. Adam & Binki my not have the same ring as the duo's famous predecessors, but the rich thoughtfully-paced recording feels like a classic nonetheless with Shapiro's light and sweet tone casually breezing over Green's deep resonance.

Timelessness: Starring Nancy Sinatra

Timelessness is probably the most sought after quality in music. At least it should be. And for me, Nancy Sinatra is the timeless queen of cool. Certainly she owes that in part to her dad Frank, but with her versions of Lee Hazelwood's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" and Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" she left her own indelible signature on pop music. There's no better example than the psychedelic "Some Velvet Morning"—her classic 1968 duet with Hazelwood.
