Music reviews of Gentle on My Mind/I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am
Music Review: DEAN SINGS WITH UNDENIABLY BOUNDLESS POSITIVE ENERGY--BRAVO, DEAN MARTIN !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
When Dean Martin sings it's like listening to silk; and this twofer CD entitled "Gentle On My Mind/I Take a Lot of Pride In What I Am" is no exception! Dean sounds great. Even in the late 1960s Dean could still take any tune and make it sound singularly beautiful. The quality of the music on the album is excellent; and the artwork copies the artwork from the record album releases back in 1968 and 1969.
The album starts with the songs from the record album entitled "Gentle On My Mind." The first song, "Not Enough Indians," is just about my very favorite style of country. The musical arrangement uses the brass and the strings to great advantage and Dean never falters--great! The backup chorus helps out even though Dean didn't need it--bit it sounds good anyway. "That Old Time Feelin'" isn't the best track but it does showcase Dean's vocal talents; on the other hand I really like "Welcome To My Heart." "Welcome To My Heart" charms me with its beauty; Dean swings lightly to make this tune memorable and he was still every bit the champ he always was. Another highlight of this album is a cover of Glen Campbell's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix;" Dean sings this with panache and I'm very impressed.
"Gentle On My Mind" is absolutely wonderful; Dean sings this Glen Campbell hit so well that I actually prefer it to Glen's rendition! "Rainbows Are Back In Style" has that late `60s adult contemporary sound to it mixed with just a twist of country to make it shine. Thank goodness the backup chorus never stole the spotlight from Dean! "April Again" ends the numbers from "Gentle On My Mind;" and this ballad gets a very lush arrangement.
We then get the tracks from Dean's album entitled "I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am." Dean starts with the title song, which is full of energy and catchy lyrics that I won't forget anytime soon. Great! "Where the Blue and Lonely Go" is a poignant ballad that features Dean squarely front and center--and that country sound is excellent for this tune. I like that percussion, too! "If You Ever Get Around To Loving Me" is another number that uses a background chorus. Dean sings this faultlessly and I enjoy "If You Ever Get Around To Loving Me" very much. "The Sun Is Shinin' (On Everybody But Me)" is a bluesy ballad that sounds anything but bluesy; Dean and the musicians make this shine like a golden nugget and I really like "The Sun Is Shinin' (On Everybody But Me)."
"The Sneaky Little Side of Me" has a great arrangement and Dean sings this with style; and the album closes nicely with Dean Martin performing "Little Green Apples." "Little Green Apples" has a mellow sound to it as Dean sings this to perfection--and beyond! "Little Green Apples" is a sensitive love song and it makes a wonderful ending for this twofer CD.
Dean Martin never disappointed his fans--ever. This twofer CD brings his magical vocal talents back to us years after we so sadly lost him. Dean Martin fans will consider this a "must-have" for their collections; and people who enjoy those late 1960s adult contemporary ballads with a country twist will love this album for years to come.
