singing so smooth and relaxed you're almost afraid the CD will fall asleep on you...
Although I already had the LP version of Everybody Loves Somebody the price of the tracks from Dream With Dean was more than worth the price of admission! In addition, of course, all of these marvelous songs are in a digital format and it sounds fantastic. Dream with Dean/Everybody Loves Somebody is a wonderful CD from the Collector's Choice label that has all the songs from two of Dean Martin's record albums for Reprise Records, Dream With Dean and Everybody Loves Somebody. The artwork is very well done even if Dean seems a little too tired on the front cover and the liner insert has miniature replicas of the flip side of the record album jackets for the two LPs.

The CD starts with Dean crooning wonderfully on "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You). " Dean sounds so good despite the passage of time; his voice was a finely tuned instrument that never failed him. The piano arrangement is lovely, too. "I'll Buy That Dream" has some fine percussion and Dean sings this to perfection--and beyond! "I'll Buy That Dream" is a charming love song; and "Blue Moon" shines like silver and gold when Dean Martin bats this one straight out of the ballpark! We also get a toned down version of "Everybody Loves Somebody" that doesn't completely do it for me but I must admit that it is very pretty. (A very popular version of this song comes soon. )

"Hands Across the Table" is perfect for slow dancing with your sweetheart all alone late at night in your living room; and I really like "Hands Across the Table. " What a fine highlight of this CD! In addition, Dean Martin treats "Smile" with great sensitivity and that's grand. Dean puts his own mark on Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" with his incredible sense of timing and I'm very impressed. "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is yet another great tune; this piano bar sounding tune features Dean Martin squarely front and center--right where he always belonged.

The second set of songs from Everybody Loves Somebody begins with the title track from that vinyl LP; and I love this version of "Everybody Loves Somebody. " This song truly belongs to Dean Martin; I never heard it performed better by any other performer on the face of this Earth. This is Dean Martin at his zenith!

"Shutters and Boards" has a backup chorus that harmonizes well although Dean Martin didn't really need all that--it was just the style at the time they recorded songs like this. Dean never sings a superfluous note--great! "A Little Voice" is very romantic; and "My Heart Cries for You" really lets Dean perform another sublime rendition of a classic ballad. "Siesta Fiesta" is almost silly but I like it anyway; and listen for the country flavored "Corrine, Corrina" which Dean aces seemingly effortlessly. "Face in a Crowd" ends the CD with a strong, country themed number and Dean doesn't disappoint.

Dean Martin possessed so much talent for entertaining that he quickly and permanently endeared himself to millions of people worldwide; CDs like this provide us with just a glimpse of Dean's massive genius. I strongly recommend this CD for Dean's fans and people who enjoy classic pop vocals recorded in the 1950s and 1960s will like this one as well.

Thank you, Dean!

Dream with Dean/Everybody loves somebody
Thank you I am very happy. Delivery was prompt and very professional.


Dream with Dean
The CD release was not available previously so I was THRILLED to see when it was produced. My parents had this album which I wore out when I was growing up. From what I have seen in searching, several tracks only on this album (GIMME A LITTLE KISS). Very melancholy collection, Dino fans will love it. .


Aptly Named
This album makes me rethink that. I like Dean Martin ok but he has never been among my favorites. It is a combination of two of his LPs from "back in the day. " I thoroughly enjoyed them both, especially the first.

The songs are mostly love songs done with Dino's easy voice and style. The songs of the first part, DREAM WITH DEAN, did just what the title suggested. They made me dream. That is what these songs are meant to do. The second collection wasn't quite up there with the first but it was still good.

This is most appropriate for anyone infected with the love bug.

THE UNPREDICTABLE DINO
There is absolutely no reason to include the 6 songs that DEAN had already recorded the year before on his country albums. We could call this collection the best and the worst of DEAN MARTIN. It's clear that REPRISE wanted to cash in on the EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY hit single. On the other hand ,you have DREAM WITH DEAN which is an absolute must for the fans. You'll notice that the voice and the phrasing of DEAN comes across beautifully,and the singer gives the classic songs like FOOLS RUSH IN or BLUE MOON his own personal touch. If DINO would have cared to make other albums like this,he would have equal SINATRA all the way. Incidently,it is quite interesting to put alongside this disc FRANK's 1956 CLOSE TO YOU ballad album.
