Legendary crooner Dean Martin enjoys a third hit album in 1965. Houston contains the US No. 10 hit single I Will covered in the UK by Billy Fury. Future chart success would become more erratic. (US:11)
"By the time of Houston, Martin is moving in new directions, notably pop/rock and an updated middle-of-the-road pop style best heard on the hit I Will. Still, the basic approach was a variant on Nashville sound country-pop, as on the Roger Miller-like Houston. The ever-versatile Martin seemed to be at home no matter what the backing."
"Houston is a good mix of country and pop songs. I Will, the last US top ten hit of his career, was perfect for Dean."
"It doesn't get any better than this for Dean Martin fans. Houston is Dean at his coolest."
"This is a truly wonderful excellent recording of some of Dean's great songs. It truly is worth owning and having this wonderful group of songs to listen to."
"I Will is a magical song perfected by a magical singer, effortlessly perfect."
