DINO AT HIS COOLEST

It doesn't get any better than this for Dean Martin fans. Houston is Dean at his coolest and Hits Again is for romance and candlelight.I bought both these albums as LP's way back in the sixties and they're still my two favorite Dino albums and now on CD the sound is even better ..

ONE LESSER,ONE GOOD

DEAN MARTIN's discography is really something to behold.Those two lps on one cd are a typical example.The first DEAN MARTIN HITS AGAIN it seems is a quickie;one gets the feeling that the wine was pouring a little to hard on those sessions.Try to figure out how many songs are molded on the first track.Three songs in a row have the same word on the title and this is not a concept lp.On the other hand,HOUSTON is a good mix of country and pop songs and I WILL, the last top ten hit of DEAN's career was indeed perfect for him.Trying to figure out the many ups and downs of DINO's recordings can actually take a few years out of your life.This guy DEAN MARTIN,perhaps this is the main reason we love him so much is quite an enigma in itself.We all agree nevertheless that he was an accomplished singer.
