Breaking slightly from his pattern of a swing album following the release of ballads set,
Frank Sinatra followed
No One Cares with
Nice 'N' Easy, a breezy collection of mid-tempo numbers arranged by
Nelson Riddle. Not only is it the lightest set that he recorded for Capitol, it is the one with the loosest theme.
Sinatra selected a collection of songs he had sang early in his career, having
Riddle rearrange the tunes with warm, cheery textures. Unlike his previous ballads albums,
Nice 'N' Easy doesn't have a touch of brooding sorrow -- it rolls along steadily, charming everyone in its path.
