Sincerely, Brenda Lee is the sixth studio album by American singer Brenda Lee. The album was released February 12, 1962 on Decca Records and was produced by Owen Bradley. It was the first of two studio albums released by Brenda Lee in 1962 and did not contain any singles. Background and content Sincerely, Brenda Lee was recorded in five separate sessions at the Bradley Film and Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, United States under the direction of Owen Bradley. The first session began on January 8, 1961 and the last session took place on October 28, 1961. The album consisted of twelve tracks of material of previously recorded Pop music standards. It includes covers of "Lazy River" and "Fools Rush In". It also includes a cover of "Hold Me", which would later become a major Pop hit in 1964 for P.J. Proby. Unlike any of Lee's previous releases for the Decca label, the album did not contain any uptempo numbers that resembled that of Rock and Roll of Rockabilly music. Richie Unterberger of Allmusic found that the album did not "add much versatility" because of this missing element. Unterberger reviewed the album and gave it three out of five stars, calling it, "one of the more forgettable albums from her prime, of value only to big fans and completists. ... The problem was that the record featured almost nothing but these kind of songs, most of them taken at a slow tempo, and none of them rock & rollers (or hit singles, for that matter)." Release Sincerely, Brenda Lee was originally released as an LP record, containing six songs on the record's "A-side" and six songs on the record's "B-side" as well. The album has since be reissued in the United Kingdom on a compact disc. Sincerely, Brenda Lee was officially released on February 12, 1962 on Decca Records and it peaked at #29 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
