Blue Moon - Dean Martin

Blue Moon - Dean Martin
3:04
Dream With Dean, 1964
Written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, 1934

A laid-back, sleepy version of the classic.  This sounds like it was recorded in a nightclub right before closing, and everyone has gone home.  Very sparse instrumentation, with a sultry croon of a vocal.  By the middle of the voice Deano is almost talking, a rough whisper, not really singing.  Overall, I prefer the Marcels' doo-wop reworking, of course, but there's always room for a standard done well by a great talent.
