Sleep Warm was the result of a heavenly collaboration between Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra who conducted the music for these songs. This is a particularly sweet album from Dean Martin; and there's no question as to why once you hear these great numbers.

"Sleep Warm," the title song, features Dean squarely in the spotlight while Frank conducts a lush musical arrangement. Dean sounds great and Frank uses a great arrangement highlighting the strings to great advantage. "Sleep Warm" is an excellent lullaby for grownups. "Hit The Road To Dreamland" features Dean crooning at his very best and the musical arrangement is sharp, slick and sassy without ever being inappropriate. Wow! That's quite a feat.

"Dream" gets the royal treatment from Dean as he delivers this with panache; and the slow tempo of this ballad makes it a true masterpiece in Dean's capable hands! "Goodnight Sweetheart" is another number I'm sure you'll enjoy; it's so sweet and the music practically caresses your senses. Great!

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me" gets just the right interpretation from the immortal Dean Martin; he sings this somewhat suggestive number as only a pro like he ever could.

"Brahms' Lullaby" is quite beautiful and instantly recognizable; and listen for "Baby Obey Me." Great tune that swings--"Baby Obey Me" is a sharp number with Dean crooning with the best of them!

Of course, there are a few numbers that don't fit in with the theme of sleeping and sweet dreams during slumber. "Sailor's Polka" and "Baby Obey Me" are great numbers that are excellent to hear; but some people could be disappointed that the end of the album strays from the theme. I really enjoyed "Zing-A-Zing-A Boom" but, then again, that's just my taste and just my opinion.

I will take off a star for the last few songs. They are wonderful; but they just don't fit in with the theme of the album. Oops!

Overall, Dean Martin fans will love to have this in their collections. However, purists may be bothered by the last three or so songs on this album--these people should buy the version of this CD from 1996. The older version is also for sale on this website.

I wasn't much of a fan of this genre (Dean, Frank, Tony), but as my child began playing this (a 16 yr old in this day and age?) music, I've fallen for Dean's voice.

If you've enjoyed his other recordings (Italian love songs, etc.) this is a delightful change of pace. This is, by far, the best of his recordings showing off his smooth, velvet voice & his ability to deliver it in a tender way.

Sexy without being overt, naughty without the nasty, it's a delicious listen.

Oh, man. If I'd only known how great this record was years ago! Bloody Brilliant. Now, I'm a huge Dean Martin fan. There's a 2006 version of this CD that has 4 additional songs on it. Wish I'd known that.

Sounds great. New favorite album.

This is a great CD. A mellow, swingin' Dean singing to an orchestra conducted by Frank Sinatra~ what could be sweeter?

This is a great set for any fan of Dino. However, I purchased the download on 8-14-09 and the first 11 songs are incorrectly titled. Only Brahm's Lullaby is labeled correctly. It only takes a short time to re-title, but Amazon needs to correct ASAP.

I remember this 'album' from 40 years ago. It is still as good as it was then. Brings back sweet memories.
Dean Martin at his very smoothest and 'Warmest'.

I received this CD as a baby shower gift, but didn't actually listen to it until after my baby was born. We LOVE this CD and it has been a part of my daughter's bedtime routine since she was born (she's now 2). I just orderd a 2nd CD because the first one has been played so many times its practically worn down to nothing. It's a wonderful, calming way to put children to bed - and its enjoyable for adults to listen to - unlike so many of the cheesy lullabies you hear.

Great album! Adult lullabyes. So nice to have them playing late in the evening, calming. When you cook for isntance, or do easy work in the house, late. Dean MArtin fits better than ever for this. Frank conducts. Just a thing like that it is worth havig it.

"Cuddle Up A Little Closer" features Dean performing at his best; and his excellent diction bolsters his performance. That's some arrangement for the horn and strings!

"Dream" gets the royal treatment from Dean as he delivers this with panache; and the slow tempo of this ballad makes it a true masterpiece in Dean's capable hands! "Goodnight Sweetheart" is another number I'm sure you'll enjoy; it's so sweet and the music practically caresses your senses. Great! "All I Do Is Dream Of You" showcases Dean's ability to caress the lyrics of a song and make it sound fresher than any tune you've ever heard! Great!

"Dream A Little Dream Of Me" gets just the right interpretation from the immortal Dean Martin; he sings this somewhat suggestive number as only a pro like he ever could. "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" features a lush musical arrangement but make no mistake about it--Dean remains front and center in the spotlight.

"Brahms' Lullaby" is quite beautiful and instantly recognizable.

Overall, this fine CD is a must have for Dean's fans. This version of the album is currently out of print; and that's a shame. The newer version has two or three extra songs at the end that do not fit into the concept of this album. I recommend that purists go for this version of Sleep Warm; and more casual fans who won't be bothered by the addition of extra tunes that don't fit in may want to check out the newer release of this CD.

I cant believe I haldnt heard this CD in the 3 years since I first started to love Frank and Dean. Ive seen it before but never thought of buying it. These orchestrations and arrangements are so perfect and smooth. What better combination can you have then Dean and Frank.
This is a must when the ladies are over!
