EXTD=6\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW:  Dean Martin sounds unusually engaged on 
EXTD=his first 12-inch LP to be recorded as such, a concept album of s
EXTD=ongs relating to the South and recorded in Dixieland style. Alway
EXTD=s stimulated by good material (when he could get it) that showcas
EXTD=ed his flair for the lighthearted, Martin essays songs associated
EXTD= with such predecessors as Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson and Bing Cr
EXTD=osby, and he is surprisingly credible in such company, maybe beca
EXTD=use he knew songs like "When It's Sleepy Time Down South" and "Wa
EXTD=y Down Yonder In New Orleans" thoroughly and got a kick out of si
EXTD=nging them. This is even true of the fruitier material, such as "
EXTD=Mississippi Mud" and "Alabamy Bound," making them almost acceptab
EXTD=le, and of songs that have weathered better, such as "Georgia on 
EXTD=My Mind." On the whole, this is an excellent thematic collection 
EXTD=that is convincingly sung. (Swingin' Down Yonder was reissued on 
EXTD=CD in 1991 with eight bonus tracks, all of them from singles reco
EXTD=rded and released between 1950 and 1952. They were songs in the s
EXTD=ame vein, such as "Muskrat Ramble" and "Bye Bye Blackbird," also 
EXTD=in Dixieland arrangements, and were equally well-performed.) \n[T
EXTD=he 2005 edition includes four bonus tracks.] -- William Ruhlmann\n

EXTD=, 2006 \nBy  Patrick Murphy (Toronto, Canada)\nThis has to be one
EXTD= of Dean's best albums. A terrific collection of songs, great ban
EXTD=d and arrangements, nice rich sound and first-class vocal styling
EXTD=s. Indeed, I've never heard Dean sing better. While the voice is 
EXTD=inimitably his, the slightly exaggerated self-caricature that cre
EXTD=pt in during the 60s is absent. The album could almost be titled 
EXTD="Dean Sings Al Jolson --- But Better". \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER 
EXTD=REVIEW\nNothing could be finer than Dino singing Dixieland, April
EXTD= 11, 2006 \nBy  Mark C. Gionfriddo\nIn a review of Dean Martin's 
EXTD="Live In Las Vegas" CD which I wrote last June, I suggested that 
EXTD=it would be fabulous if the Capitol Records vaults were opened an
EXTD=d Dino's delightful concept album from 1955, "Swingin' Down Yonde
EXTD=r", would again see the light of day. I don't know if the 'powers
EXTD= that be' read my review and responded to my plea; that's my idea
EXTD=listic hope and just a timely coincidence. But just the same, I a
EXTD=m very delighted to report that this great album is now available
EXTD= once again on disc. \n\nI personally consider "Swingin'" to be f
EXTD=abulous, and I don't believe I'm using the term loosely. While Fr
EXTD=ank Sinatra had already refined the idea of assembling songs rela
EXTD=ted in mood and/or subject matter into a long playing work of art
EXTD=, the concept form had not yet been tried by Dean. Since his arri
EXTD=val at the label in 1948 as a package deal with his comedy team p
EXTD=artner Jerry Lewis, Dean had had only limited success as a solo r
EXTD=ecording artist with single releases of novelty tunes like 'That'
EXTD=s Amore' and 'Sway'. I call this particular album 'fabulous' beca
EXTD=use it marries the usually easy-going crooner with a style of jaz
EXTD=z music that is exciting as well as infectiously happy. What an i
EXTD=ngenious idea, and it works. \n\nDean recorded this album, his se
EXTD=cond Capitol effort, during two dates in September/October 1954 a
EXTD=nd also in early February of 1955. The opening strains of the fir
EXTD=st track, 'Carolina Moon', are completely deceptive; upon hearing
EXTD= Dean's crooning accompanied by Spanish styled guitar riffs, the 
EXTD=listener expects to hear Dean in a more typical setting for him, 
EXTD=the dreamy ballad. But then Dick Stabile's musicians kick into hi
EXTD=gh gear for the next 30 minutes and Dean never looks back. \nIt's
EXTD= a neat trick, and highlights the fascinating new Southern direct
EXTD=ion that Dean takes us. \n\nListeners familiar with the songs of 
EXTD=the great South will likely recognize all of the selections, like
EXTD= "Mississippi Mud", "Dinah", and "Is It True What They Say About 
EXTD=Dixie?"- while others will be delighted to discover these old che
EXTD=stnuts from 1912-1937 as they get dusted off and given the Dixiel
EXTD=and-like big band treatment, thanks to brilliant arrangements fro
EXTD=m Dave Cavenaugh. Although the typical Dixieland combo would be q
EXTD=uite smaller than the large group assembled here, Cavenaugh does 
EXTD=a tremendous job of slimming the textures down, alternating small
EXTD= combo passages with larger group sections, utilizing trademark D
EXTD=ixie sonorities like tuba and clarinet in clever ways, all the wh
EXTD=ile combining this great early jazz form with big band swing. \n\n
EXTD=As for Martin, he is often unfairly relegated to the shadow of Si
EXTD=natra, the latter inarguably being the greater interpreter of Ame
EXTD=rican popular song. Not only does Dean sound committed to the Dix
EXTD=ie concept here, he sounds captivated, even invigorated by it. It
EXTD= will be very difficult for you to keep your toes from tapping wh
EXTD=en you hear him romp through "Waiting For The Robert E. Lee" and 
EXTD="Alabamy Bound". When he sings 'Nothing could be finer than to be
EXTD= in Carolina in the morning', you're ready to pack your bags and 
EXTD=grab that first train to Charlotte. He even channels the great Al
EXTD= Jolson in tribute while singing "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans"
EXTD=, one of my favorite tracks of the album. "When It's Sleepy Time 
EXTD=Down South" is also a standout. Martin sounds like he is wearing 
EXTD=a wide smile as he sings- his voice caresses every note as he smo
EXTD=othly and effortlessly maneuvers through the athletic intervals o
EXTD=f the challenging tune. \n\nA few small caveats: the disc include
EXTD=s four bonus tracks from 1949 and 1954 which actually don't have 
EXTD=anything to do with Dixieland- and they can't help but disturb th
EXTD=e concept a bit. (Collector's Choice Music, which started a proje
EXTD=ct long overdue of releasing all of Dino's Capitol albums, seems 
EXTD=to be going the route of the Sinatra Capitol CD releases, adding 
EXTD=on single tracks without apparent reason.) But who would dare com
EXTD=plain about bonus tracks? I'm just elated that all of these long 
EXTD=out of print albums by Dean will be available once again. A newly
EXTD= written essay by James Ritz (co-producer of the series with Gord
EXTD=on Anderson) caters toward audiophiles, sometimes lingering a bit
EXTD= too much on Billboard chart information and not enough on Martin
EXTD=, but I suppose that's to be expected. And it's disappointing tha
EXTD=t the original album back cover had to be reduced in size in orde
EXTD=r to print EMI's legal download/copyright warning. Such is the wo
EXTD=rld we live in, a far cry from 1955. But these are very minor iss
EXTD=ues. The music is what matters. Put this CD in your machine and e
EXTD=njoy this sparkling, lively album, one of Martin's earliest and b

EXTD=uary 10, 2007 \nBy  A Dino Fan\nI have a CD exactly like this one
EXTD= that I bought in the mid/late 90's but it had a different format
EXTD=. It included other dixieland music from Dean not the extra songs
EXTD= that were added as "fillers" unrelated to the theme of the album
EXTD= which are unecessary I think. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful CD.
