Frank Sinatra, The World We Knew

Frank Sinatra, THE WORLD WE KNEW reissue (Universal)
Ah, Sinatra in the late 60s… a mixed bag, to be sure. The seasoned voice perfectly envelops melancholy gems like “Drinking Again” and the leathery, cocksure “This Town,” and “Somethin’ Stupid” (duet with Nancy) is a classic. But the über-sappy “Born Free” and “Don’t Sleep in the Subway” are wince-inducing.
