“In The Wee Small Hours” by Frank Sinatra - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1955 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1950s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die ![]() |

His lonely and blue concept album, with a mood and performance drawn from a deep pool of his own messy relationship experiences. Things starts off nicely with the elegant title track which strikes a universal chord – who hasn’t missed their lover in the wee small hours of the morning? [Steady]. By the end, however, I’m completely drained by the whole weary, dreary affair. Very few hooks, no interesting lyrics, just a monotonous bore wallowing in self-pity for 50 minutes. The album was a huge success both critically and commercially. I’ll never be down with the conservative croonsters…
