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 subtly tragic treatment, and
Sinatra responds with a wrenching performance. It lacks the grandiose melancholy of
Only the Lonely, nor is it as lush as
Where Are You?, but in its slow, bluesy tempos and heartbreaking little flourishes, it is every bit as moving.
