this is dean martin

1958 was a very good year for Dino, the year that he fully rebounded from his split with Jerry Lewis, with critically heralded TV and film appearances (The Young Lions and Some Came Running) and three Top 40 hits to his credit. All three of those Top 40 hits were on this record, which, like This Is Frank Sinatra, was issued as part of Capitol’s “Star Line” series of compilations of non-LP singles. So, every track on here is a strong one, and some became calling cards for the rest of Dean’s recording career; includes Volare; Write to Me from Naples; The Test of Time; Don’t You Remember; The Look; Return to Me; Buona Sera; I Know I Can’t Forget; Angel Baby; When You’re Smiling; Makin’ Love Ukelele Style, and Promise Her Anything. The four bonus tracks are all singles making their album debuts here: Forgetting You; Outa My Mind; Once upon a Time, and The Magician.
