Nancy Sinatra Artist Snapshot:

If the late Frank Sinatra and his music conjure the cocktail-swilling sophistication of his generation, then his daughter Nancy Sinatra has come to embody the free-spirited, pre-Woodstock insouciance of hers. Never quite achieving the valence or longevity of her famous father, Nancy Sinatra nevertheless had a great run in the '60s as a go-go-booted chanteuse, lending her bubbly alto to such memorable hits as "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and "Some Velvet Morning." With producer/writer Lee Hazlewood, Sinatra found her niche as a country-pop vocalist and acted in some throwaway films of the day before retiring to raise her daughters. In 2004, Sinatra made a respectable comeback with her self-titled album of songs by younger writers including Morrissey, Bono, and Jon Spencer.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.97) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "It's a grand meeting between a star and her fans, as Sinatra proves she's not the end of the family line."
Spin (p.98) - "[Sinatra has] a light, ductile weirdness, and nearly all the contributing acolytes here play to it well." - Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly (p.74) - "Frank's girl willingly wraps her smoky, weathered vocals around characteristically well-written tracks..." - Grade: B

Nancy Sinatra's eponymous 2004 release mixes the old and the new in intriguing, refreshing ways. Sinatra's alto, which pours over melodies like a dry martini, is still intact, though time has replaced some of her cheekiness with sincerity. The "new" arrives in the form of contemporary songwriters and performers, some of whom were still in diapers when Sinatra had her '60s hits. These include indie upstarts Calexico, electronica act Reno, and former Pussy Galore member Jon Spencer, who lends deep-down vocals to the funky rocker "Ain't No Easy Way."

Sinatra's wide range of collaborators is as impressive as the quality of the material. Pulp's Jarvis Cocker contributes the lush pop ballad "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time" and the country-flavored "Baby's Coming Back to Me." U2's "Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad" (originally written for her father Frank) is particularly well suited to Sinatra, as is Pete Yorn's bright, ironic "Don't Mean Nothing." Overall, the singer translates impressively to a contemporary "alternative" context, making NANCY SINATRA a comeback album to bridge styles, tastes, and generations.
