4.0 out of 5 stars Dino- Early Songs that Shine, August 20, 2000

By 

A. Kim Fuller (Morgantown, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Some Enchanted Evening (Audio CD)

This little selection contains a couple of real winners! most of these are early radio show songs dating back to 1948! Dean's style was always warm and comfortable, but in these early selections, the background music isn't as intrusive as it was later on and you can really hear the wonderful quality of his voice! Of special note are standout performances on the title treack, SOme Enchanted Evening, Ghost Riders in the Sky, September Song, and a jovial Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk. All in all, a fine performance!!

Some Enchanted Evening is a wonderful album for established fans of Dean Martin, assembling more than one hour's worth of early Dino ballads. I am not sure when these songs were actually recorded, but the fact that they are all mastered from radio transcriptions and are performed live leads me to guess it was the late 1940s and/or very early 1950s. The sound quality is not perfect in a couple of places, but by and large these recordings sound remarkably strong and clear. These are also songs that I had never heard Dino sing before, as up until recently I have only been musically acquainted with his later, more familiar material. There are some amazing songs included in this material. Dean's version of Ghost Riders in the Sky is uniquely Dino and impeccably done. September Song showcases Dean's rich, powerful baritone voice to an amazing degree. As a huge Judy Garland fan, I was anxious to hear Dino's version of Swanee; Dean doesn't exactly sound as if he calls Dixie home, but he brings a wonderfully different feel to the song. I could go through and say something good about all of these tracks. This album gives you Dean Martin the serious balladeer, just the man and the music and the applause. If you are just curious about Dino, I would recommend picking up some of his more familiar hits from the 1960s, but any true fan should make it a point to come eventually to this oasis of early style and substance to bask in the majesty and might that is Dean Martin.

What is Darktwon? What is Bal? What is Swance? What is Sault Ste?

If I recognized the songs, I might buy the CD.
