My Way is probably one of Sinatra's last good albums of his career. Although he would still record over the next 3 decades to some degree,apart from 1981's "She shot me down" LP "My way" would be a good album to go out on. Released in 1969 Sinatra was fast becoming an old relic to the young hip kids who were buying Beatles,Rolling Stones and Eagles records,where would Frank fit into this new kind of music? That was a question frank probably asked himself a hundred times and there was probably no easy answer. The problem would be more evident in Sinatra's 70's recordings where he would record largely "The pop hits of the day" which didn't suit him at all and the LP's turned out to be very forgettable and semi embarrassing. Luckily My way,although it does throw in a couple of recent (for 1969) pop covers is largely a proper sinatra album through and through.
The album of course contains the fantastic title track which would end up being Franks anthem right up until his last performances in the 90's. Written by paul anka especially for Sinatra the song is perfect for an artist at the end of his career or life,in 69 Sinatra said that "he was bored with the business" and Anka no doubt tapped into this, thinking Frank would soon be quitting the business for good and the song would be a fitting way to retire! As we know Sinatra did return some 4 yrs later but to average albums with largely poor material.
Other highlights are the brilliant "All my tomorrows" a stunning ballad which still ranks as one of his best in my opinion, there's also the stellar "For once in my life" which is still is a huge fan favourite and the melancholy "Day in the life of a fool" "Didn't we" is also a lovely song which grows and grows on you the more you hear it. Unfortunately as was common with Sinatra albums from the late 60's onwards Frank decides to chip in 2 current(ish) hits of the day in The Beatles "Yesterday" and Simon & Garfunkels "Mrs Robinson..neither track sounds particularly good and they just don't suit Frank at all,unfortunately this was to become a more common with his albums as the 70's went on.
Produced by long time Sinatra arranger Don Costa the arrangements are nice but nelson Riddle could have done so much more with several numbers on the album.
This is a newly remastered 40th anniversary edition complete with liner notes and 2 bonus live tracks.
4/5

sinatra at his best this album contains his most famous anthem in my way but the other tracks also do the business look out for the haunting all my tomorrows which is fabulous.
