Season's Greetings From Dean Martin Review

CEMA Special Markets' Season's Greetings from Dean Martin contains ten songs culled from various Christmas albums and singles Dino recorded for Capitol Records during the '50s. Although the disc might not be an official album, it plays like one, since all the arrangements are quite similar and place the emphasis on Martin's easygoing charm, which is perfectly suited for such songs as "White Christmas," "Baby, It's Cold Outisde," "Winter Wonderland," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "The Christmas Blues." For budget-minded Martin fans, this isn't a bad bargain at all. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
