" If you're new to Dino, this is the best place to start your collection."

Hey pallies, likes here at our humble little Dino-pad we tries to say what we means and means what we say.  Well, likes yester-Dino-day in our blog post accentin' Mr. Right Wing's Dino-devotion from his blog  "Vox Pop Music Album Guides - A blog to promote the definitive , most comprehensive, guide to popular music," we made this Dino-promise, "we sez, Mr. Wing if you keeps scribin' more Dino-devotion, we promise to keeps sharin' it with all the pallies gathered 'round the ilovedinomartin waterin' hole."

Well, after scribin' that, we decided to check Wing's blog to see if, by chance, we had happened to miss any Dino-action, and likes we did!  So, here today is more swank' scribin' of yet 'nother Dino-al-b-um review by this obvious devotee of our one and only Dino.  The post that we somehow missed is tagged "The Door Is Still Open To My Heart – DEAN MARTIN."  Likes we always have deeply dug the cover of the showin' our very mod Dino with open shirt and scarf 'round his neck.

'gain Mr. Right Wing has assembled a number of excellent examples of  devotee's reflections on this al-b-um of Dino-croons.  We were particularly struck by this reviewer cool comment that we have used to tag this particular post... " If you're new to Dino, this is the best place to start your collection."
We also note that one of the swank songs on this disc has been mentions by both our Danny-o and Miss Always On Watch recently in patter here at ilovedinomartin.

Once 'gain we thanks Mr. Right Wing and his blog "Vox Pop Music Album Guides - A blog to promote the definitive , most comprehensive, guide to popular music" for sharin' 'nother Dino-croonin' review that brings more honor and glory to our most honorable and glorious King of Cool.

The Door Is Still Open To My Heart – DEAN MARTIN***



The Door Is Still Open To My Heart/We’ll Sing In The Sunshine/I’m Gonna Change Everything/The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin’ Time/Every Minute Every Hour/Clinging Vine/In The Misty Moonlight/Always Together/My Sugar’s Gone/You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You/Take Me/So Long Baby

Crooner Dean Martin was on a roll in 1964 as he scored his third US top twenty album hit with The Door Is Still Open To My Heart. Unfortunately, it contains some recycled tracks from earlier albums. The title song was a No. 6 US hit single. (US:9)

"The Door comes from a period when Reprise was still scrambling to keep up with the demand for Martin product deriving from his comeback hit, Everybody Loves Somebody. The album is a catchall, even containing some songs recycled from Dean 'Tex' Martin Rides Again."

"The Door Is Still Open finds Dean making wonderful music on the title track, not to mention his take on a popular song of the day, We'll Sing In The Sunshine which seems tailor made to fit his easy swingin' approach. The 'sing-a-long' motif behind the country-tinged Clinging Vine is classic Dean; as is the tender yet driving ballad Always Together."

"The Door Is Still Open To My Heart has a few hits and a lot of fillers, and a few songs from the country albums of 1963. The pleasant surprise is We'll Sing In The Sunshine."

"This album is one of Dino's very best at Reprise, perhaps even of his entire career. Dean sings each and every song in his own unmistakable style and makes you feel that you've never heard them before he crooned them. Not a weak track anywhere on the album. If you're new to Dino, this is the best place to start your collection."

"This is Dean doing what he does best, he takes other artist's songs and stamps his own interpretation on them, as in I'm Gonna Change Everything, Clingin' Vine. I recommend this item without hesitation."

"The Door is one of Dean Martin's best songs. I love the lyrics and singers. It is the perfect arrangement."
