? In The Wee Small Hours? was knighted by the Rollings Stones magazine as the most important album in music history at the Vienna Academy of Music it has found the first real concept album in music history the way into the curriculum. The latter is wrong, even if the player is the same, but just a couple of years ago / who the old 78-he saw books even understand even better why is called the album), nevertheless, so much a concept has previously rarely subordinated to an album, and his melancholy this is simply unmistakable, yes indeed a real milestone. Who does not know the melancholy, yes want to say melodramatic side of Frank Sinatra, this exceptional artist does not know. As much as he is today appreciated for its groovy swing, artistic of depressive Frank is still at least one level to settle above; if that is possible at all. This album is like a sad movie, is dramatic, exciting and yet diverse. As a gateway drug I would prefer for future Sinatra fans indeed prefer a varied compilation or a good live album, but who want to look a little into the depths, it can not pass. My conclusion: Who already estimates the melancholy Frank, this album should definitely have: In the deep sad corner there is nothing approach is because most likely still Only The Lonely ?, or? very different, because a late work? ? She Shot Me Down ?.
