I don't like any of the live recordings, just shows that you can't allow/expect others to make taste decisions for you. My very favorite Sinatra recording is A Man Alone. Probably not the consensus, but for sure mine. I also love Songs For Swinging Lovers. And about 15 others. A Concert Sinatra, I think that's the name, has In My Dreams, a truly great recording of a truly great song. Its not that expensive, try a few and decide for yourself. You will be happy.
Seeking some guidance on Sinatra
Hello. I don't know much about the Chairman of the Board -- his different periods, his changing styles, etc. Still, I know that some stuff sound great, at least to my ears, while other tunes leave me less than thrilled.
My question: The other day, out at a favorite lunch haunt, I heard Frank singing "Just One of Those Things." Man, the cat was smokin'. If I enjoyed that -- which I did, a lot -- could anyone point me to a couple of Sinatra albums on which I might find more of that kind of stuff?
Thanks very much.
