A lesser collection of Sinatra's late Capitol period songs

""All the Way" is a collection of singles and B-Sides from the last years Frank Sinatra spent at Capitol Records, which means that by definition it lacks the thematic unity of his best albums from this period. However, four of the dozen songs are by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, including the title track and "High Hopes." Along with "Witchcraft" those are the three best songs on the album. You will also find an interesting take on another kiddie song, "Ol' MacDonald," which is done as a sort of jazzy farmer's daughter joke. If you have the Complete Capitol Singles Collection of Frank Sinatra, then you have no need for this CD version of the 1961 release because you already have all the songs. At the very least, you probably already have the three big hits in your music library."
