One of the great lounge singers of the pre-rock era, the genius of Dean Martin is that he made everything sound easy and classy and fun. Relaxed and comfortable, with a beatific self-assurance that transcended confidence, Dino was truly one of a kind. This 1962 Capitol Records classic finds Martin backed by a sympathetic orchestra conducted and arranged by Gus Levene and offering up a fine selection of wheelhouse numbers with distinct Italian themes sung in both English and Italian. This release serves as the next installment in Capitol Records’ 75th Anniversary Collection: Vinyl Reissue Program.
