listen here
The second Sinatra album on this list is his follow up to In The Wee Small Hours, and despite having some killer singles, doesn't quite reach to the heights its predecessor hit. However, it still proves that Sinatra was great even when he wasn't sad, and kind of upset my expectations. His sad bastard stuff is usually the stuff everyone loves and his happier, Christmas-ier stuff is seen as kind of lame, but it still manages to sound great, if a bit dated. This album is pretty great and I could see myself listening to this again or a few more times.
Weirdly, despite a lot of the oversaturation Sinatra gets around Christmas time with singles like "You Make Me Feel So Young", the songs themselves are still unavoidably uplifting and I can get why he was such an acclaimed singer. Fuck this thing is so sweet. I definitely recommend it.
