Released in 1967, Robert Mitchum's singing debut finds the film icon in a surprisingly capable, albeit understated, vocal performance. It's a curious artifact of a bygone Hollywood era.
- The album was produced by famed songwriter and producer Don Costa. Costa was known for his work with Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand.
- Mitchum's film career was already winding down by 1967, with fewer starring roles. This album offered a different kind of performance for the actor.
- Monument Records also released a follow-up album by Mitchum, "Mitchum, Just Like It Was... Naturally" in 1970.
Robert Mitchum was an American actor, perhaps best known for his roles in noir films. He recorded a handful of albums in the 1960s and 70s, exploring spoken word and singing.
