Dino's First Stereo Release On 180g Vinyl LP + 5 Bonus Tracks!
Orchestra Conducted By Frank Sinatra!
Sleep Warm was the record that Frank Sinatra conducted for his newfound pally Dean Martin. Recorded over just three nights in October 1958, it was Dino's first stereo release and remains a fan favorite, thanks both to Sinatra's sensitive baton work and Martin's uncharacteristically understated singing. The arrangements are by Pete King. Described in the liner notes as a "beguiling set of lullabies for moderns", the selections follow a "bedtime" concept with several of the song titles containing the words "dream" and/or "sleep".
The album contains 5 bonus tracks, 4 with an orchestra conducted by Dick Stabile and 1 conducted by Don Costa.
"On only his third full-length, 12-inch LP recorded as such, Dean Martin finally found a way to construct an album in the style of pal and rival Frank Sinatra's highly successful concept LPs: Bring Sinatra in as the conductor. (The arrangements are by Pete King.) Repose was Sinatra's chosen theme, and he selected a set of songs well-suited to Martin's bedroom voice, from Johnny Mercer's 'Dream' and 'Hit the Road to Dreamland' to 'Let's Put Out the Lights (And Go to Sleep)' and 'Dream a Little Dream of Me.' Just as on a Sinatra theme album, the title track was written to order, in this case by Lew Spence with lyrics by Marilyn Keith and her husband-to-be, Alan Bergman. Martin brought more attention to the sessions than usual, and the sympathetic string arrangements supported his romantic vocals, making this one of his best album releases." - AllMusic
