Editorial Review: Album Description: 1981 Release Currently Out of Print in the USA. Arranged and Conducted by Don Costa and Gordon Jenkins. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Back to the BarsDuring his concert banter with the audience, Frank Sinatra oftentimes brought up his start - along with other popular vocalists - in the music business as a "saloon singer." This 1981 release brings his phenomenal career full-circle - back to those times of struggling to learn the art of performing - with songs lamenting love lost, potential slipping away and life sliding into the shadowy crevices of last-calls at the local bars. Produced by Don Costa and arranged/conducted ... Read More Rating: - An Elegant Moody Masterpiece From His Autumn Years.Call it "Only The Lonely" for the Yuppie Generation. This 1981 album is indeed very similar in both theme and quality, an excellent collection of ballads that only Frank could sing so poignantly and convincingly. At 65 years old, his voice is still in excellent condition, and his storytelling abilities are as good as ever. Take a listen, for example, to Alec Wilder's "A Long Night," one of Frank's most atmospheric recordings and also his darkest song ever. Listen to the lyrics ...

Read More Rating: - Probably the best Saloon Song Album ever...This album, is, without doubt, one of Sinatra's greatest albums. The mood is excellent, perfect for that late night listening with the lights turned down low and a Jack Daniels in hand. I love the cover of this album, Sinatra is at a bar in a saloon, holding his cigarette and having a drink. It really sets the mood for this album; I love the sight of the smoke too, great shot. I just wish Sinatra had recorded more albums like this in his later years, there were so many songs that he hadn't recorded that he could ... Read More Rating: - a delight for Sinatra fansif you're looking to buy your very FIRST Sinatra recording, this is NOT the one! why?? b/c it's out in left field really. the songs mostly obscure, but all the more enjoyable b/c of it. plus, it's late career FS. some of the vocal power that so impresses in the 50s and 60s is diminished by 1981. but the flip side is the depth of feeling, the beautiful pathos, genuine mourning in the vocals on this torch songs collection. i swear to you that i have to keep pulling the needle back every time to listen ...
