Capitol released
Late at Night With Dean Martin along with another generous 15-track compilation,
Hurtin' Country Songs. Where its companion benefited from a specific theme,
Late at Night doesn't have a clear-cut concept, it just finds
Martin at his suave, swinging best. What makes the compilation work is that it draws from both his
Capitol and
Reprise recordings, and the compilers are clever enough to balance hits like
"Everybody Loves Somebody" with lesser-known singles, album tracks, and standards. The end result may not be an essential
Martin compilation, but it doesn't attempt to be -- it's simply a really good listen, better than many CD compilations of
Martin's material because it doesn't follow a predictable route.
