Review

Frank Sinatra's second set of torch songs recorded with Gordon Jenkins, No One Cares was nearly as good as its predecessor, Where Are You? Expanding the melancholy tone of the duo's previous collaboration, No One Cares consists of nothing but brooding, lonely songs. Jenkins gives the songs a subtley tragic treatment, and Sinatra responds with a wrenching performance. It lacks the grandiose melancholy of Only the Lonely, nor is it as lsuh as Where Are You?, but in its slow, bluesly tempos and heartbreaking little flourishes, it is every bit moving. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

No One Cares is a 1959 album by Frank Sinatra.[2]

The album can be seen as a sequel to the Sinatra's earlier album Where Are You?, which was also arranged by Gordon Jenkins. The album was released in 1959 in both stereo and mono versions, each containing 11 songs. A 12th song, "The One I Love (Belongs to Somebody Else)," was recorded at the sessions, but left unreleased until 14 years later. In 1990, that song was released in the 3-disc set, "The Capitol Years," but whereas the 1973 release included two carefully placed intercuts (edits) to correct a gaffe in the lyrics and a less-well-played string passage, the 1990 track was presented raw, without these corrections.[3]

The 1991 CD reissue of the album is a new mix from the 3-track tapes. All other issues, including the release in the 1998 UK box set, use the original 1959 stereo mix.

Tracks 1 and 10, although arranged by Gordon Jenkins as part of the original concept, were conducted by Nelson Riddle (uncredited) in Mr. Jenkins' absence.[4] On CD, the final three bonus tracks had nothing to do with the original album, and are arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle.
