1001 Album Complaints

The Story Behind: Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours, Ep 107


Listen Later

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Frank Sinatra shot to fame in the 1940s but his star was waning as the 1950s started off. Add a need to reinvent oneself artistically to a very public failing marriage and you get what might be the very first album as we now know it. The boys talk Celesta tones, 1930s songwriting, and singing at night.
