The World We Knew
The World We Knew, also known as Frank Sinatra, is a 1967 studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra. The album's title track reached No. 30 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Easy Listening chart in 1967. Its second track, "Somethin' Stupid"—a duet between Sinatra and his daughter Nancy—reached No. 1 on both charts. Reception. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in his review of the album for Allmusic, awarded it two-and-a-half out of five stars, and described it as, "More of a singles collection than a  proper album [...] Much of this has a rock-oriented pop production, complete with fuzz guitars, reverb, folky acoustic guitars, wailing harmonicas, drum kits, organs, and brass and string charts that punctuate the songs rather than provide the driving force [...] the songs Sinatra tackles with a variety of arrangers are more ambitious than most middle-of-the-road, adult-oriented soft rock of the late '60s." Erlewine described the album's ninth track, "Drinking Again", as "exceptional, nuanced" and said that it "ranks among the best songs Sinatra cut during the '60s."
