Swing into the smooth sounds of the 1960s with Dean Martin's "This Time I'm Swingin'!" This classic album, released in 1960 by Capitol Records, is a testament to the timeless appeal of Dean Martin's velvety voice and the swinging big band arrangements conducted by the legendary Nelson Riddle. Recorded in May 1960 at the iconic Capitol Studios in Hollywood, this collection of 12 tracks (with 4 bonus tracks in some editions) is a delightful blend of adult standards, big band, and swing music that will have you tapping your toes and humming along in no time.
The album kicks off with the remastered classic "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" and continues with a mix of beloved standards and hidden gems. Dean Martin's charm and wit shine through in each track, whether he's crooning about true love, imagination, or the fleeting nature of romance. Standout tracks include "True Love," "On The Street Where You Live," and the witty "Mean To Me." The album's duration of just over 31 minutes makes it a perfect introduction to Dean Martin's swing era, or a delightful addition to any fan's collection.
"This Time I'm Swingin'!" is not just a collection of songs, but a celebration of an era when music was elegant, sophisticated, and incredibly enjoyable. So, pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage, sit back, and let Dean Martin and his orchestra transport you to a time when swing was king.
