Just one year after In The Wee Small Hours, Sinatra returns with a decidedly different kind of romantic album. Instead of morose songs about lost love, Frankie sings hipper, jazzier versions of existing pop standards.He was teamed with new arranger Nelson Riddle and together they recreated the songs of a previous generation in a new light and created new pop standards in the process. My favorite track is without question the legendary Cole Porter song "I've Got You Under My Skin." It starts off as a relatively subdued, brooding love song that climaxes with an out of control slide trombone solo. I'm also partial to the line "wake up to reality." What a great piece of advice.
Favorite Tracks: "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Makin' Whoopee," and "Anything Goes."
