2008 Woodie Awards
Soundbyte: The best of Dean Martin, Green Series
Brandi Mendez
Issue date: 9/3/08 Section: A&E
In recent months, a classic voice was brought back to life.
The smooth charm of Dean Martin, the cool cat of the infamous "Rat Pack" who shot his way to the top of the music charts in the '50s and '60s, was signed, sealed and delivered in 2008.
As part of the exclusive "Green Series," carried at Walmart, a revamped collection of a dozen of Martin's famous hits are presented out in an all-new biodegradable, 100 percent recyclable package. Dino's warm and intimate voice will lull listeners into a state of smooth satisfaction as he croons fan favorites like "That's Amore" and "Sway." Longtime Dean Martin fans will love The Best of Dean Martin, while listeners weaned on mainstream rock, pop and hip-hop will discover an American treasure.
Perhaps the loveliest song on the album, "Inamorata," will provide the perfect soundtrack to any romance:
"I'm at heaven's door, Inamorata/Want you more and more, Inamorata/You're a symphony, a very beautiful sonata, my Inamorata/Say that you're my sweetheart, my love."
With the tracks digitally re-mastered, the old debonair spirit of Dino is introduced to a brand new eco-friendly audience that will appreciate a CD that shows concerns for Mother Earth, and for your wallet.
At less than $10 a pop, this great compilation doesn't break the bank. Wal-Mart's "Green Series" is a smart choice that's easy on the environment, the pocketbook and the ears: What's not to love?
