Free Music Review: Karaoke Night With Dino
Hit: 2 Stars
Well-intentioned but ultimately disappointing, Dean Martin's "Forever Cool" (2007) offers posthumous duets with contemporary artists ranging from Martina McBride to Joss Stone. What works are the instrumental touches - notably Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's ultra-swinging "Who's Got the Action?" and Dave Koz's smooth sax licks on "Just in Time." In the vocal department, only Paris Bennett's "Baby-O" has any punch. Though an intriguing concept, the digital pairings with Charles Aznavour and Kevin Spacey come across as contrived gimmicks. Dino's a cappella rendition of "Brahms' Lullaby" makes for an effective closer. Hopefully, the Dean Martin Family Trust will assemble a genuine duets album featuring Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Sammy Davis Jr. and, of course, Frank Sinatra. Now THAT would be something!
Forever Cool Poster
To honor Dean Martin's broad appeal and countless contributions to modern entertainment via his legendary music, stage, film and television career, many of the world's top artists have recorded new collaborative tracks with him on Dean Martin: Forever Cool. Forever Cool's 14 tracks pair Martin's original vocals with new arrangements and an all-star group of collaborators in a salute to the unparalleled talent and charisma of the man known around the world as "Dino". A special CD/DVD edition of Forever Cool is also available & contains a 25 minute "making of" & interview documentary footage.Dean Martin Photos

Whether you see Dean Martin as an iconic, velvet-voiced crooner or a repugnant symbol of Vegas excess, Forever Cool is a fascinating--if flawed--experiment in keeping the celebrated performer contemporary. A reworking of his vocal tracks as duets with internationally known collaborators (from British singer Joss Stone to Italian chart-topper Tiziano Ferro), the album additionally features new arrangements as well as one previously unreleased track (an a cappella version of "Brahms' Lullaby"), all seamlessly mixed with droll studio banter ("Last time I was this hot I had a kid") that gives the recording a palpable immediacy. In keeping the new instrumental backing tasteful and smart, producers Rob Christie, Phil Ramone, Patrick Williams, and Bobby Colomby spotlight Martin's considerable vocal skills and rescue him from his unctuous, drunk, and schmaltzy self-caricaturizing, even as some of the spoken prattle threatens to lift the martini glass to that trait. While trumpeter Chris Botti and saxophonist Dave Koz prove sparkling choices as collaborators, the selection of vocal guests sometimes seem head-scratchingly strange. Stone, who appears on "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me," is far too husky a singer to pair with Martin's smooth mega-baritone (and one can't help but think she could be his great-granddaughter), while Paris Bennett, the American Idol finalist, comes off as lightweight as Tinkerbell. Perhaps not surprisingly, actor/singer Kevin Spacey, with his hipster Bobby Darin chops, comes closest to matching Martin's joie de vivre, while Martina McBride's elastic, adaptive soprano makes her the most believable female counterpart, even as she is forced to truncate her usual phrasing. All in all, this is a thoroughly enjoyable invitation to a fantasy cocktail party where Dino is always, and ever, the star. --Alanna Nash
