""DINO" is the better album, released in 1972 it was his last LP to chart Billboard charts at #117. "Guess Who" "The Small Exception of Me" and "I Can Give You What You Want Now" are just beautifully sung, and they all have A-side potential! Kris Kristofferson wrote two posthumous sounding songs "Just The Other Side Of Nowhere" & "Kiss The World Goodbye". "Party Dolls and Wine" is a raucous number, a real toe-tapper. "The Right Kind of Woman" has a nice Spanish feel to it. The 1973 album "You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" was brand new for me. The title ballad is a cover of a gold record by Gladys Knight. I really liked about five songs off this LP. My favorite is "Free To Carry On". It really has some fine piano playing. The Spanish "Amor Mio" has really grown on me...it translates to "My Love" in English. Exquisite! "You Better Move On" has Dino giving fair warning to back off his girl. The album ends with another upbeat Dean Martin/Jimmy Bowden classic "Get on With Your Livin'". Dean goes back to his Capitol sounding days with four of the songs. They are remakes from his 1964 LP "Dream with Dean"..."Give Me A Little Kiss" "I'm Confessin'" "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" and "I Don't Know Why I Love You (I Just Do)" You won't be disappointed with these two mature albums. I'm Lovin' em!"
Often overlooked, but great!

"These two albums were late in Dino's career, and as a result often overlooked. The hits were in the past, but this album has some really nice modern country arrangements. "What's Yesterday" is unique and a bit mysterious. "Party Dolls & Wine" has a hard beat to it that's infectious. For me the best cut is "Kiss The World Goodbye" by Kristofferson -- somehow it sums up what Dean might have been thinking at the end of his life. There are very fine versions of "Free To Carry On", "You're The Best Thing To Happen To Me", and great updates to "I'm Confessing", "Baby Won't You Please Come Home", "I Don't Know Why", and "Gimmie A Little Kiss". I grew to hate "Tie A Yellow Ribbon", but Dean's light version is rather pleasant. This is a definite Dino album to get if you like pop country."
