Dean Martin

Not had any Dean Martin for a while so here is he is on the "Reprise" label which no doubt everyone must know was Frank Sinatra's Label. Dean is here giving some "wellie" to some "Country & Western" type "Ditties"!!!!....Thanks Bob for this one !

Dean Martin

 Swingin' Down Yonder is the first full-length, 12-inch album recorded by Dean Martin for Capitol Records during three sessions in September and October 1954 and February 1955. According to the original sleeve notes, all the songs have a "common geographical root: the American South." In 1963, Capitol Records re-released Swingin' Down Yonder under the titled Southern Style.

This one brings back memories of some of my first purchase of EP's in the 50's....there were three of them which I bought over a period of time....they seemed to have disappeared when I moved from my parents house....Its great to hear them again all in on L/P......Below is one of the EP's covers....

These are tracks from the 50's...there is no info on the back sleeve about them but I used to have a couple of the tracks on a 78rpm which as I said before "accident on my bike" which smashed quite a few of them...Also on a few of the tracks you have a sax doing a solo bit and I remember on the label the orch was conducted by a "Dick Stabile"and the Sax I think is an Alto Sax is featured on quite a few....I think it's an Alto it's not a "Raspy" sound like the Tenor Sax....Its like the "Sloping Sax's" of the "Billy May's Orch" !!
