A Man Alone is the Real Frank

This is one of my favorite Sinatra records. The Only time Frank does an entire album of one composer songs and he pick Rod McKuen. To quote Mckuen from his "Frank Sinatra An Appreciation" "Running Jumping Standing Still, Frank Sinatra is the tallest man I know. The story goes, Rod ask Frank to do one of his songs. Frank took a look at the stuff and said "Rod I'll cut an entire album of your stuff". A Man Alone was made during March of 1969 and we find Frank in great voice, singing about being alone with a honesty that only Frank can express I believe this may be as close to the real Frank as we'll find again for the rest of his recording career. This is one of the last times that Frank goes out a limb and does something different and his hits a home run

a man alone

I have had this album since 1970, and I think it needs replacing.This is perhaps the finest Sinatra album I have listened to. The spoken word is a true gem, if you listen to it for the first time, do so in a dimly lit room with a bottle of your favorite wine, it will blow your mind. Fantastic

Classic Sinatra
