Middle of the road Dino pop

"These are probably not Dino's finest Reprise recordings, but there are a few gems. "Welcome To My World" equals the original rendition by Jim Reeves, though somewhat different in style. Dean's "Green Green Grass Of Home" is very impressive. "Little Old Winedrinker" is fun, and there are nice cuts of "Wallpaper Roses" and "Chapel In The Moonlight (great Ernie Freeman arragnements and the latter is an extremely impressive vocal by Dean), and the gentle "I Can't Help Remembering You". The rest is filler...but good filler!"

EASY LISTENING

"If you are a fan of DEAN MARTIN,you'll love those two 1967 lps .We're about halfway mark through the REPRISE years,and DINO fresh from the success of his tv series, almost transform everything from the standards to his new songs like LITTLE OLE WINE DRINKER,ME into his own unique style.That is the mark of a singer who knows his craft,even if the material is medium.This is easy listening music at it's best,and DINO is almost in the twilight of his career with still a few delights to come.As you know,there are many DEAN MARTIN impersonators nowadays,but why not stick with the original?The song IN THE CHAPEL IN THE MOONLIGHT was originally a FRENCH song recorded by LEO MARJANE in 1938 under the title LA CHAPELLE AU CLAIR DE LUNE."

HAPPINESS IS DEAN MARTIN

"This is my second favorite of the two fer CD series and well worth purchasing if you are considering it. These two albums were released within three months of each other and I would assume were recorded together because together they sound like one album. I like each and every song but I prefer Elvis's version of Please Release Me. I especially like Think About Me ,He's Got You, and Welcome To My World . All said these are two great albums which I will listen for many years to come."
