Set'em Up Joe

Rick Baccare

A salute to Frank Sinatra, the master saloon singer—celebrating the quiet, lonely hours and the classic torch ballad. Eleven tracks were recorded seventeen years ago on a Zoom recorder, joined in 2026 by four final selections featuring vocals recorded over the maestro's original orchestral tracks to complete the album.

"When putting MY HEART SINGS together, I wanted to do something truly special. These sixteen songs are more than just classics—they represent the gold standard of vocal performance. My vision was to tackle these masterpieces through the lens of the iconic arrangements that made them legendary: the romantic phrasing of Johnny Mathis, the effortless charm of Andy Williams, the majestic resonance of Plácido Domingo, the unmistakable passion of Roy Orbison, and the soaring, soulful power of Tom Jones on tracks like 'With These Hands.'

I also wanted to take listeners on an emotional and vocal ride that builds all the way to the final note. The album finishes with a musical climb that demanded everything I had in the studio—soaring from an A4 on 'Dream' to a B♭4 on 'Ebb Tide', and finally reaching a climactic High C on Tom Jones's powerhouse arrangement of 'I Have Dreamed.' From my heart to yours, I hope you enjoy listening to these songs as much as I loved singing them."
