Product Description
From Amazon.com
The revisionist take on the Rat Pack's razor-witted King of Cool reveals a Dean Martin who was considerably more complex than the Titan of Tipplers legend; a man who would just as soon retire to his room with a tumbler of milk to watch a TV Western than prowl the Strip with his famous cohorts. That sublime, preternatural indifference is both underscored and belied with dizzying regularity on this good 30-track overview of Martin's singing career. The breezy hits "That's Amore" and "Volare" underscored his public staying power when many counted him out in the face of a surging 1950s youth market. He repeated the feat again with trademark effortlessness a decade later to knock no less than the Beatles off the top of the charts with the unlikely, if inviting schmaltz of "Everybody Loves Somebody." Ever informed by his warm, deceptive vocal ease, Martin's rich signature tunes are well-represented here. But the collection also spans enough lovable kitsch ("Mambo Italiano," "Little Old Wine Drinker Me") and unabashed romantic yearning ("Innamorata," "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On") to deepen the compelling mystery of one of pop music's most enduring ciphers. --Jerry McCulley
Album Description
Dino could always take a good song and make it better; this release follows his lead and turns his platinum-selling "best-of" and expands it to 36 tracks on 2 CDs! One very special addition: an unissued 1950 studio version of Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody , the master of which was recently found in the Capitol vaults. It joins his hits That's Amore; Memories Are Made of This; If; You Belong to Me; Standing on the Corner; Innamorata; Angel Baby; On an Evening in Roma; Little Ole Wine Drinker, Me; In the Misty Moonlight , and more.

From The President of the Dean Martin Fan Center,
By
This review is from: Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (Audio CD)
Okay... One would think that being the president & founder of Dean's official Fan Organization, I would have left 5 star comments on every Dino CD & Video release - WRONG! The only reviews I have made are for those releases that are important and relevant for the fans of this great crooner.I had the unique pleasure of being around Dean every week during the taping of his TV Variety Show, and I also had the opportunity of hearing him sing just about every song he ever recorded (or did for the first time). I never thought any record or tape could honestly capture the true vibrations of his voice. Dean could paint a song with just the slightest movement in a note, but it was never fully captured until the advent of CD and digital remastering. Now, every breath is heard, and the world can discover Dean Martin's talent for phrasing and control over a lyric. This cd spans Dean's entire recording career with his biggest and best remembered songs. Hear for yourself why the public loved listening to his voice, and why he was such a draw when performing live... even though these are all STUDIO recordings that were captured and stored protectively in the Capitol and Reprise Record vaults. It's time for a new generation to discover, and an old generation to be blown away by this cd! AAA+++ and 5 stars! -Neil T Daniels founder and president of the Dean Martin Fan Center www.deanmartinfancenter.com

Just can't stop,
By
This review is from: Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (Audio CD)
My girlfirend is Italian and her father was a professionnal musician. When we first listened to this cd, we just could not stop! One great hit after another. One song brought tears to my girlfriend's eyes as it was a song that her father used to sing to his daughters to put them to sleep (Returna me). Wonderful, magical moments. Great cd!

Mixed feelings,
By Morris B (Houston, Tx) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (Audio CD)
When I saw the cover of this cd advertised I jumped for joy. But then I took a look closer and noticed that 2/3 of the 30 tracks are the SAME Dean Martin songs we are always given. If you're a huge fan, you'll get this for the rare unrecycled tracks that slide through. I certaintly may get this at a later time. But not right now. Cause the last "definite" Dean Martin collection I got was 1998's Greatest Hits: King of Cool, which really isn't that far off. The moment I get this one there could be another hits album released. So I don't know. Rating: 4 1/2 on content. 3 on necessity,
