CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "Sleep Warm" was the record that Frank Sinatra conducted for his newfound pally Dean Martin. Recorded over just three nights in October 1958, it was Dino's first stereo release and remains a fan favorite, thanks both to Sinatra's sensitive baton work and Martin's uncharacteristically understated singing. A classic. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsDean sold his songs without even trying--and that's no small Matthew G. Sherwin | last seen screaming at Amazon customer service | 01/18/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Sleep Warm was the result of a heavenly collaboration between Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra who conducted the music for these songs. This is a particularly sweet album from Dean Martin; and there's no question as to why once you hear these great numbers.
"Sleep Warm," the title song, features Dean squarely in the spotlight while Frank conducts a lush musical arrangement. Dean sounds great and Frank uses a great arrangement highlighting the strings to great advantage. "Sleep Warm" is an excellent lullaby for grownups. "Hit The Road To Dreamland" features Dean crooning at his very best and the musical arrangement is sharp, slick and sassy without ever being inappropriate. Wow! That's quite a feat. "Dream" gets the royal treatment from Dean as he delivers this with panache; and the slow tempo of this ballad makes it a true masterpiece in Dean's capable hands! "Goodnight Sweetheart" is another number I'm sure you'll enjoy; it's so sweet and the music practically caresses your senses. Great! "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" gets just the right interpretation from the immortal Dean Martin; he sings this somewhat suggestive number as only a pro like he ever could. "Brahms' Lullaby" is quite beautiful and instantly recognizable; and listen for "Baby Obey Me." Great tune that swings--"Baby Obey Me" is a sharp number with Dean crooning with the best of them! Of course, there are a few numbers that don't fit in with the theme of sleeping and sweet dreams during slumber. "Sailor's Polka" and "Baby Obey Me" are great numbers that are excellent to hear; but some people could be disappointed that the end of the album strays from the theme. I really enjoyed "Zing-A-Zing-A Boom" but, then again, that's just my taste and just my opinion. I will take off a star for the last few songs. They are wonderful; but they just don't fit in with the theme of the album. Oops! Overall, Dean Martin fans will love to have this in their collections. However, purists may be bothered by the last three or so songs on this album--these people should buy the version of this CD from 1996. The older version is also for sale on this website." |
