Wow! (As Usual), July 2, 2003
This review is from: That's Amore: Best of (Audio CD)
Has Dean ever recorded a bad song? Evidently, NO!
When lying in bed on cold, rainy nights this is great.
There are the classic Martin standards: That's Amore, Volare, Sway, Memories Are Made Of This & You're Nobody Till Somebody loves You. But in addition, there are many, often forgotten performances, which are Dean Martin at his best.
Dean swings (as good as ever) on Just In Time, If Love Is Good To Me, Standing On The Corner & Canadian Sunset (forget Andy Williams' version), while remaining calm, and not over-singing anything. But then, that's always the magic of Dean's singing.
Then there are slower Italian love songs - don't let that put you off! Often you think slow tunes will be a real wah wah part of the collection, but these arn't like that: Come Back To Sorrento, Just Say I Love Her, Vieni Su, Innamorata & Arrevederci Roma are beautiful, and are perfectly suited for entertaining at the dinner table, or almost any use.
The overall mood of this collection is great, keeping just the perfect mix of faster songs and slower, ballady ones, all chosen from Dean's Capitol Records recordings - which are some of Dean's best recordings. Well worth the buy. You'll love it weather you like Dean Martin or not.

A Rare Dean Martin Treasure!, June 7, 2001
This review is from: That's Amore: Best of (Audio CD)
If you can find this elusive CD...Buy it! I really wasn't a Dean Martin fan prior to the purchase of this CD, but his smooth, effortless sound and jazzy, relaxed beat drew me in. Whether you're in the mood to sing it, swing it, or just sit back and listen to it, this compilation is perfect for anything. I prefer this album in particular because of the version of "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You." His sound is more laid back and his voice just melts into the music. It's FANTASTIC!
