Sealed 1969 Textured Gatefold Original With Giant Poster. His Only Concept Album And A Little-Known Gem. “Watertown Is Frank Sinatra's Most Ambitious Concept Album, As Well As His Most Difficult Record. Not Only Does It Tell A Full-Fledged Story, It Is His Most Explicit Attempt At Rock-Oriented Pop. Since The Main Composer Of Watertown Is Bob Gaudio, The Author Of The Four Seasons' Hits "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," "Walk Like A Man," And "Big Girls Don't Cry," That Doesn't Come As A Surprise. With Jake Holmes, Gaudio Created A Song Cycle Concerning A Middle-Aged, Small-Town Man Whose Wife Had Left Him With The Kids. Constructed As A Series Of Brief Lyrical Snapshots That Read Like Letters Or Soliloquies, The Culminating Effect Of The Songs Is An Atmosphere Of Loneliness, But It Is A Loneliness Without Much Hope Or Romance — It Is The Sound Of A Broken Man. Producer Charles Calello Arranged Musical Backdrops That Conveyed The Despair Of The Lyrics. Weaving Together Prominent Electric Guitars, Keyboards, Drum Kits, And Light Strings, Calello Uses Pop/Rock Instrumentation And Production Techniques, But That Doesn't Prevent Sinatra From Warming To The Material. In Fact, He Turns In A Wonderful Performance, Drawing Out Every Emotion From The Lyrics, Giving The Album's Character Depth.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide.
