Sittin' on Top of the World (Dean Martin album)
Sittin' on Top of the World is a 1973 studio album by Dean Martin arranged by Van Alexander and produced by Jimmy Bowen.[1] This was Martin's first album to be released for 16 months, and was only his second album not recorded in the Countrypolitan style since 1965.[1] The album became his first new album not to chart for 10 years.[1][2] It was reissued on CD by Capitol Records in 2006 and Hip-O Records in 2009.[3] Reception
The initial Billboard review from 26 May 1973 said that "These sound like old, old, cuts..He's also not had an LP out in several years. Very Dixielandish".[4] William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Ruhlmann said that "Martin's most recent efforts had been commercially negligible, so Bowen was well-advised to try something different, but, especially because Martin albums were becoming so occasional, his audience had largely lost track of him...".[1] Track listing
