Jimmy Bowen produced all of Dean's Reprise hits, but in the later years, particularly when it was "his" orchestra, the country sound got a real heavy beat. That's not always bad, and you will find two great cuts here -- a very strong Martin performance on "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" (supposedly recorded in tribute to his wife whom he had recently divorced) and "For The Good Times" with a nice and relaxed orchestration. Several of the country standards here are very nicely done -- "Here We Go Again", "Make The World Go Away", "Tip Of My Fingers", "Detroit City", "Turn The World Around", "Keeps Right On A Hurting", "Invisible Tears", and "Perfect Mountain". All these are nicely done, both in terms of the strong arrangements and Dean's vocals. There's one cut at the bottom -- "For Once In My Life" -- ah well, they can't all be winners.

I receive the cd but it has no sound at all, doesn't play. Too sad so.

Thank you.

We love Dino in our house. Any of his later music (more country style and relaxed) plays at least 2-3 times per week, for hours at a time.

I'm replacing all the albums with CDs.
