Description
The Dean Martin Collection brings together twenty of the Rat Pack icon’s most beloved recordings, showcasing the warm, effortlessly smooth baritone that made him one of the most enduring entertainers of the twentieth century. The CD draws heavily from Dean’s hugely successful mid-1960s shift toward country-flavoured pop, with standout tracks including his signature ‘Everybody Loves Somebody (Sometime)’, which famously knocked the Beatles from the top of the US charts in 1964, the tender ‘The Door Is Still Open To My Heart’, and the lilting ‘In The Misty Moonlight’. Rounding out the set are polished readings of country standards like ‘Release Me’, ‘Born To Lose’, and Hank Williams’ ‘I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still In Love With You)’, demonstrating Dino’s natural affinity for the genre. An excellent single-disc introduction to one of pop music’s most charismatic and distinctive voices…
