A really great later album from Frank Sinatra – one in which he takes on material from Rod McKuen, which turns out to be a perfect setting for the mature, introspective quality that could make Frank so great during this time! The songs are filled with the themes of loneliness and solitary ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Brown and orange label stereo pressing. Cover has light ring wear.)
Sinatra at his lonely best – as emphasized by the cover image, which has him sitting alone at a bar, looking sadly into his drink. The album's got backings by Gordon Jenkins, a bit more flowery than some of Nelson Riddle's, but in that sad dreamy mode that Sinatra worked with on the Wee ... read moreCD

Pal Joey ... LP Capitol, 1957. Very Good ...
$4.99

A Swingin Session indeed – as Frank steps out with Nelson Riddle on one of his last great albums for Capitol!

A Swingin Affair indeed – as the album's one of our favorite ever from Frank's Capitol years!
