Jimmy Dean - Jimmy Dean is Here! '1967

Tracks list

Jimmy Dean left Columbia for RCA in 1966 and immediately charted a Top Ten hit
with Stand Beside Me, a bland effort that probably owes most of its success to
the RCA promotional machine. Jimmy Dean Is Here! is his inaugural album for the
label, and it includes Stand Beside Me plus 11 other songs produced by Chet
Atkins, who approached the project as though he was making an Eddy Arnold
record. Don Law, Deans producer at Columbia, arguably had a better sense of
Deans strengths, because his flaccid crooning under Atkins tutelage is as
appealing as a soggy biscuit. On I Got Your Word (You Got Mine), Dean sounds
tired and even slurs his words in a poor imitation of Dean Martin. The mood
throughout is almost dreary, and it is no coincidence that Dean never recaptured
his former glory.
