Our Take

Ah, Watertown, the much-maligned stepchild of Frank Sinatra's extensive discography. This 1970 concept album sees Ol' Blue Eyes ditching the swing and jazz standards for a more melancholic sound, chronicling the tale of a man left heartbroken in the fictional town of Watertown.

The stripped-back arrangements, courtesy of producer Charles Calello, allow Sinatra's velvety vocals to take center stage, showcasing his undeniable talent as a storyteller. Tracks like "What's Now is Now" and "Goodbye (She Quietly Says)" showcase the emotional depth and vulnerability of Sinatra's performance, drawing the listener into the character's world of heartache and longing.

While some may dismiss Watertown as a departure from Sinatra's usual sound, it's a testament to his versatility as an artist. The orchestration may be sparse, but the emotion conveyed is undeniably powerful.

In a sea of Sinatra albums, Watertown may not stand out as a classic, but it's certainly a unique and daring endeavor worth revisiting. So put on your best suit, grab a martini, and dive into the world of Watertown with Frank Sinatra as your guide. Who knows, you might just find yourself falling in love with this underrated gem.

About the artist

Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra, The Chairman of the Board, Ol' Blue Eyes himself. The man who could make even the most stoic listener weak at the knees with his smooth vocals and timeless charm. With over six decades in the music industry, Sinatra's influence cannot be underestimated. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1915, Sinatra started his career as a humble crooner before skyrocketing to fame in the 1940s. His velvet voice and impeccable phrasing set him apart in an era dominated by big bands and swing music. Sinatra's ability to convey emotion through song is unparalleled, touching the hearts of millions with hits like "My Way" and "Fly Me to the Moon". Sinatra's career saw many highs and lows, from his early days with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to his legendary Rat Pack performances in Las Vegas. He was known for his magnetic stage presence and suave persona, earning him the nickname "The Voice" among fans and peers alike. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Sinatra was not without controversy. His ties to the Mafia and turbulent personal life often overshadowed his musical achievements. But no one can deny the impact he had on the music industry, paving the way for future generations of artists to come. Frank Sinatra may have left this world in 1998, but his legacy lives on in his timeless music. His influence can be heard in every smooth crooner and jazz vocalist who has followed in his footsteps. Ol' Blue Eyes may be gone, but his music will continue to captivate audiences for generations to come.
