A sequel to Capitol's 2000 Classic Sinatra, 2009's Classic Sinatra II rounds up another 20 tracks from Sinatra's seminal '50s recordings for Capitol, adding the previously unreleased (and just fine) "This Can't Be Love" as mild collector bait. This, of course, isn't for diehards who have the classic concept albums that provide the source material for this set; this is for casual fans who want highlights -- highlights like "Too Marvelous for Words," "Love and Marriage," {&"(Love Is) T   [ read more ]

Although it follows the same patterns and approach as Cycles, My Way is a stronger album, with a better, more varied selection of material and a more focused, gutsy performance from Frank Sinatra. Built around the hit single "My Way," the album again alternates between rock covers ("Yesterday," "Hallelujah, I Love Her So," "For Once in My Life," "Didn't We," "Mrs. Robinson"), a couple of adapted French songs, and a handful of standards. This time out, Don Costa has writte   [ read more ]

Part of a series involving artists ranging from Billie Holiday to Air Supply, Frank Sinatra's From the Heart is undoubtedly a Valentine's Day compilation. That said, its sole aim is to air the most romantic songs in the catalog of a singer who could make love sound warm and tender, wonderful and refreshing, or utterly natural. Nevertheless, compiler Didier C. Deutsch appears to have exercised some discernment, removing several songs from the playlist that would normally have been sure inclusi   [ read more ]

The 1980s were when Frank Sinatra began cashing in on the investments he'd made during his nearly half-century career, and it was also when he began to sound a little too comfortable being the Chairman. The air of defiance he'd cultivated, even at his peak in the '50s and '60s, was nowhere to be seen, replaced by the easy contentment and satisfaction that comes from someone who's looking back more than forward. His concert at the Meadowlands in his home state of New Jersey on March 14, 1986, wa   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Limited edition. Re-pressed on high quality 180 gram vinyl. "Working with Billy May again, Frank Sinatra recorded his hardest swing album ever with Come Dance with Me! Driven by an intensely swinging horn section, the album has a fair share of slower numbers, but the songs that make the biggest impression are the up-tempo cuts. With May's charts wildly careening all over the place, Sinatra relies on his macho swagger; as a result, Come Dance with Me! is an intoxicating rush of in   [ read more ]
