Music reviews of A Man Alone
Music Review: The last great vocals...
Rating: 5 Stars
Like many other reviewers, I was hesitant to purchase this album due to its general lack of commercial and critical success, but, once I listened to it, I really believe that it is worth a critical reappraisal. It is true that the songs and poems of Rod McKuen are not going to achieve the high technical artistry of Rodgers & Hart, Gershwin, or Cole Porter, but Sinatra's readings and vocalizations are among the finest in his career. For some reason, whether amazing good luck or just some well needed vocal rest, Sinatra's voice sounds as warm and pure as it did in the early 1960s. At no other time after this album was recorded did Sinatra ever quite sound the same again. He displays not just conviction in the material but an overall confidence of a man giving a vocal master class without even knowing that there is someone to appreciate it. "A Man Alone," "I've been to Town," "A Single Man," "Lonesome Cities," "Love's Been Good to Me," and the reprise with changed words on "A Man Alone" to close out the album are in my view all small masterpieces. It's Sinatra singing material that is generally unlike anything else he had sung before, but then again, it is almost a sequel to the September of My Years album - except in my opinion, his vocals are even better here. Give this album a chance. Knowing what we know about the vocal decline that followed it, A Man Alone is the last, great Sinatra vocal tour-de-force.

Description of A Man Alone
Unavailable in the U.S.! Digitally remastered edition of this 1969 album from the crooning legend. Frank Sinatra branched out with A Man Alone, a very unusual and experimental album for Sinatra, subtitled The Words & Music Of McKuen. Rod McKuen was an extremely popular and successful poet and writer at the time and, after meeting him at a party, the singer decided to record an entire album of the poet's verse and music. Six tracks are actual songs, with the remaining tracks being spoken word pieces with instrumental backdrops, including one number that is half-sung and half-spoken. This is a remarkable collection, the conviction of Sinatra's performance, as well as Don Costa's skilful arrangements make the album an intriguing and moving listen. 'Love's Been Good To Me' reached #8 on the British charts. Universal.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
