Fresh from starring as the town drunk, no typecasting here!, in Rio Bravo’ (the movie) Dean Martin was at the height of his popularity when he entered the Capitol studios in the summer of 1959 to record his first Christmas-themed songs accompanied by an orchestra arranged and conducted by Gus Levene. The results of the recordings were a charming, thoroughly entertaining Christmas record, highlighted by fine versions of ‘White Christmas’, ‘Let It Snow! Let it Snow! Let It Snow!’, ‘Winter Wonderland’, ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’, ‘The Christmas Blues’, ‘Rudolph, The Red- Nosed Reindeer’ and bonus broadcast recordings of ‘Silent Night’, ‘Silver Bells’ and ‘It’s Beginning To Look Like Christmas
