Product Description
CD Description
When the first cut kicks off with a fuzz bass intro, you know right off the bat this isn't your typical Sinatra album. On THE WORLD WE KNEW, Ol' Blue Eyes gets contemporary, circa1967. No, he doesn't appear in Sgt. Pepper garb on the cover, and there's nary a sitar to be found. Rather, he approaches classy '60s pop tunes of the Dusty Springfield/Dionne Warwick variety, while still maintaining the swinging style andbrilliant phrasing that are his trademarks.
His duet with daughter Nancy on the Bacharach-esque "Somethin' Stupid" is as close to perfect pop as anything that ever came out of Phil Spector's studio, and its infectious melody will haunt you beyond the grave. Sinatra injects the Petula Clark hit "Don't Sleep In The Subway" with his sassy strut, succeeding despite an overly brassy arrangement. Even Lee Hazlewood's dopey "This Town" (from the justifiably forgotten teen flick "The Cool Ones") is brought to life in Sinatra's hands. "Drinking Again" finds our boy in more familiar saloon surroundings, and glides along on a lovely Claus Ogerman arrangement.The pseudo-poetic liner notes provide excellent comic relief.
