I'll also chime in as a Capitol Sinatra fan. I too am an ols rock n' roller who found pleasure in those 50's recordings. Another plus - the album titles accurately describe the tone of the music therein. You wanna swing, go for the "Swingin'" series of lp's. Mellow out, go for Nice n Easy. Sad mood - Only the Lonely.
I just got into Sinatra last year - I started with those titles, and worked my way back and forward from there.
