| 23 of 25 people found the following review helpful  More Emotional Depth Than Vol. I, By Coleen "frankie-machine" (Down in the alley) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Classic Sinatra II (Audio CD) It'd be easy to be cynical about this compilation, and to assume that it's second string stuff, but that is not the case here. Sinatra recorded 16 concept albums for the Capitol label, and 10 of them are represented here, plus four singles and a previously unreleased bonus track. (By the way, the bonus track, although short in length, is excellent, and if there is more of this caliber Sinatra material in Capitol's <or anybody's> vault, let's hope it is released for all to hear and enjoy!)While the first (terrific) CLASSICS was a soaring series of adrenaline-inducing songs, CLASSICS II is a bit more subdued, but that is not a bad thing. CLASSICS II has more emotional depth in the music than CLASSICS. This is due to a liberal sprinkling of seven ballads throughout the 21 tracks here. These ballads, which include the intensely heart-broken songs, "Here's That Rainy Day", "I Get Along Without You Very Well", "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry" (featuring some of...

Which...for a number of reasons...is a mistake.In the strictest, "dictionary definition" sense, this CD most certainly contains "Classic Sinatra" performances. But what made the first CD so powerful was its confidence-bordering-on arrogance, its swagger, its charm, its pure, unadulterated "Chairman of the Board"-ness. That is not the overall vibe of this CD at all, so while the songs are all acknowledged heavy-hitters from the Sinatra catalog, there is no way that this CD should be so closely associated with the first "Classic Sinatra" CD. THAT CD's perfect companion piece, was, and still is, the sadly out-of-print (but still available) Greatest Love Songs. Case in...

Sinatra could interpret a lyric better than just about any of them ever could (and I do mean ever); and he always made it look so easy. Frank Sinatra's gift was so great that even to this day new CDs are being released for his fans who now span more than two generations. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and the artwork reflects good taste.We get 21 songs here; and truthfully they are all wonderful. This is terrific for Frank's fans; and it also makes an excellent introductory album for newcomers just discovering his magnificent and exceptional artistry. The first track, for example, "Something's Gotta Give," features Frank swinging brightly to make this jazzy arrangement work to perfection--and beyond! Nobody could interpret lyrics better than Frank Sinatra could; and songs like "Something's Gotta Give" and others on this album prove... Read more |
