Free Music Review: Fantastic New Record By The King Of Cool
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, let me state EXACTLY what this album is: This is an album of newly-created digital duets with new popular artists and Dean Martin. The arrangements are changed up and newly recorded as well.
Now the review: I am typically against these "new duets" simply because I feel that a lot of them are simply created to cash in on the late artist's legacy. This album is different however, as it seems that this was created with the utmost taste. It is not so disgustingly over-produced and slick as Frank Sinatra's Duets albums. Yes, all but two of the cuts are in front of Capitol's house band, but the band is tough and very real sounding, and though occasional mistakes do occur, it simply adds to the charm of the record.
How about sound quality? Well, it is top-notch. Dean's voice does not sound 'canned' like many of these studio-created duets sound. He sounds as if he was there, singing in time, on key and having a blast. Even little non-singing interactions between Dean and the other vocalists sound true-to-life.
I think that this album has the potential to introduce Dean Martin to a whole new generation of listeners, and my wish is that it does just that. It is a well-produced, fun listen, that will keep you interested from beginning to end (barring one awful duet--Joss Stone's is a little..."hard on the ears.") I hope sincerely that more "re-done" Martin recordings are produced with better sound (no more Reprise "stereo seperation" aka Band on one side, Choir on the other, Dean in the middle).
The DVD is also a good investment with videos of the recordings and interviews with the people involved with the project.
