Hey, Brother, Pour the Wine
In 1964, when Dean Martin enjoyed a career resurgence in the wake of his "Everybody Loves Somebody" single on Reprise Records, his old label, Capitol, began dusting off his old recordings and reissuing them on LPs. Here, Capitol focused on his boozy image with the title song, used a few of his hits ("Sway," "Memories Are Made of This," and "Standing on the Corner") and filled up the rest of the 11-track LP with old singles tracks. In fact, every recording here was making its LP debut. Still made for a miscellaneous sampler, though. [The 2005 Collectors' Choice Music edition expands the LP's track list with five bonus tracks.] ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
