Episode Synopsis
Send us a textReleased in 1955, In the Wee Small Hours is more than just an album; it is a transformative work that redefined what popular music could achieve. Often hailed as one of the earliest and most significant concept albums, it stands as a groundbreaking piece of artistry in the mid-20th century. With its deeply personal themes of heartbreak, solitude, and introspection, the album captures Sinatra at his most vulnerable, channeling the pain of his highly publicised relationship and subsequent breakup with actress Ava Gardner.
