Music - CD

Arguably Sinatra’s greatest ballads album, Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely, has been newly mixed in stereo by Larry Walsh at Capitol Studios for an expanded 60th Anniversary Edition released by Capitol/UMe and Frank Sinatra Enterprises

Leading off with a string-soaked rendition of that Screamin' Jay Hawkins title classic, this 1965 Mercury LP is a Nina Simone pop perfection. Also here: Gimme Some; Feeling Good; One September Day; Take Care of Business, and more.

The project was formed in early 2016, leading to their debut album later that year `Wisdom of Elders'; a document of sessions combining Hutchings with a group of South African jazz musicians he'd long admired.
