Only the Lonely
Editorial Reviews

Even by the standards of Sinatra's other Capitol ballad albums, Only the Lonely is a beautifully broken statement of hopelessness. Guided by Nelson Riddle's arrangements, Frank stumbles through a nameless town, buying rounds for an entire bar, having an emotionally apocalyptic run-in with an old flame, bemusedly eyeing the onset of spring. Here the spare "One for My Baby" and a rueful "Blues in the Night" pass for upbeat; more typical of its lucidly wounded tone is an epic missive of loss, "Good-bye." The CD edition carries two bonus tracks ("Sleep Warm" and "Where or When"), cut a season after the LP's dozen songs, that provide a happier ending. But you can program your player to skip them. --Rickey Wright --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
