Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
From the evocative cover painting to the impeccably chosen songs within, this 1965 album harks back to Sinatra's great Capitol-era concept albums such as In the Wee Small Hours and Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely. The theme revolves around a man approaching his fifties, looking back with a mixture of nostalgia, regret, and uncertainty; given Sinatra's age at the time (he was 49 when this was recorded) and the way he invests himself in the material, it's impossible to interpret the record as anything but autobiographical. Wistful numbers such as "Don't Wait Too Long", "It was a Very Good Year", "September Song", and the title track all hit the emotional bull's-eye, but everything here is excellent. Unquestionably his finest Reprise-era achievement. --Dan Epstein

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalga by the bucket full - pass the tissues!, 30 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: September of My Years (Audio CD)
This one's for those times when you feel present day life is too much to bear. Sit quitely with a gin and tonic and listen to Sinatra's wonderful lyrical timing and emotional expression. If you are wnywhere over 60 these songs will mean something to you - particularly the bitter sweet "It Was a Very Good Year" (recently featured on an episode of The Sopranos TV series - to great effect). This track in particular has an excellent soaring musical arrangement which makes it, in my opinion, the star track. All the tracks are good but "September Song" and "Last Night When We Were Young" recall all those good times gone bad - so whether you are 26 or 66 shed a few tears and cheer yourself up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sinatra's Reflective Classic, 11 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: September of My Years (Audio CD)
The advent of rock and roll, and the emergance of the Beatles, impacted on Sinatra's chart success but in 1965 Sinatra mounted a commercial comeback by emphasizing his advancing years. At nearly 50, he released September of My Years, a ballad collection keyed to the passage of time. The brilliant "It Was a Very Good Year" was released as a single and rose into the Top 40, the album took off for the US Top Five and went gold. It won the 1965 Grammy for Album of the Year and Sinatra also picked up a trophy for best vocal performance for "It Was a Very Good Year." Simply sublime from start to finish.

All Sinatra fans must buy this - it reflects a lot of his life take " Man in the looking glass" going back through his past years - the lyrics just great!!!
I loved to sit quietly and capture all the words with that fantastic voice that only Frank has - to appreciate it you have to buy it, so many wonderful songs here on this great album.....

5.0 out of 5 stars The finest of Sinatra's years
This album is unquestionably Sinatra at his finest, those who are critical of the Reprise era of Sinatra, need only listen to this to be proven very wrong. Read more
