Frank Sinatra - Watertown (1970) [2010, Remastered Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Feb. 2, 2023

"Watertown" (subtitled "A Love Story") is a studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in March 1970 through Reprise Records. It is a concept album centered on a man from Watertown, New York. In a series of soliloquies, the nameless narrator tells his heartbreaking story of personal loss: his wife has left him and their two boys for the lure of the big city. Watertown was produced and co-written by Bob Gaudio, one of four members of the rock band the Four Seasons, with Jake Holmes also co-writing the songs. It is the only album where Sinatra ever voiced over pre-recorded orchestral tracks. The album was released to mixed critical reviews and poor sales, with it being Sinatra's only major album release not to chart inside the top 100 of the Billboard 200. It has since been reevaluated and many consider it to be among his finest albums.

Love dot com is an album of standards and contemporary jazz/pop songs from Scottish vocalist Todd Gordon. It follows his 2012 release with the Royal Air Force Squadronaires, Helping the Heroes (Specific Jazz) but while that album featured a big band and a series of top-flight guest singers, love dot com is a much gentler affair.

Eight long years after his last album was issued in America, Harry Belafonte emerged, like the proverbial groundhog on February 2, to see what the weather was like. As it turned out, he should have stayed underground, because Belafonte's one and only effort for Columbia turned out to be as dismal as his most listless albums for RCA in the 1970s. Unable to find enough contemporary product to work with, Belafonte used four songs from early-'70s songwriter Jake Holmes (a stalwart on his worst RCA albums) to round out this generally boring collection. Ralph McTell's "Streets of London" can be a poignant lesson in self-pity if not for Belafonte's mannered performance, and surely there must be a better Hoyt Axton song for Harry to sing than "Mary Makes Magic." Even Bob Dylan's "Forever Young," combined in a medley with the South African "Jabulani," misses the mark. A sorry effort for what once was one of the most versatile and exciting recording artists in history – now relegated to being filed in the "has-bins" at record stores.

For the last half-century, Watertown has occupied a unique spot in Frank Sinatra's discography. Loathed by a loud swath of Sinatra purists, beloved by a devoted group of fans who live to evangelize the album's singular sensibility, and basically ignored by everyone else, the album has lingered as a curiosity that bridged the dominance of the Chairman's run through the '50s and '60s with the relegation to elder statesman that he was to embrace through the '70s and '80s.

Bert Sommer is often referred to as the lost star from Woodstock. Those who have only seen the documentary film, or heard the two sets released from the 1969 festival can be forgiven, however, if they are utterly unfamiliar with his name. Sommer was one of a tiny handful of performers who played the festival but never accrued career success, much less fame and fortune, coming out of it…
