No One Cares:
Sinatra on Capitol

capitol CDP 7 94519 2

No One Cares was the second "saloon song" album recorded by Sinatra and arranger-conductor Gordon Jenkins. Twelve selections in all were recorded in four separate studio sessions: 10 sides on March 24-26, 1959 and two additional tracks on May 14, 1959.

Sinatra once again proves conclusively that he can take lyrics that are in themselves and of themselves banal, lyrics that are trite and sometimes even slight enough to be silly, and yet he can make them live and breathe and communicate emotion. He sings the sad songs in this album so well. Those bitter-sweet, late night, sad songs of days that used to be require an interpreter who can be sad without being maudlin, who can be man enough to cry a little and with the tears gain dignity. Sinatra does it with his voice and personality.

So, set 'em up, Joe, 'cause No One Cares...
