Dean Martin recorded 'Country Style' at Reprise Studios in Hollywood between 1962 and 1963, produced by Jimmy Bowen. The album was released in 1963 as a tribute to country music, a genre Martin had occasionally explored in his career.
The title 'Dean "Tex" Martin: Country Style' reflects the nickname Martin used in his early years as a singer, when he performed as 'Tex' to appeal to country and western audiences. The album includes covers of classics such as 'I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)' and 'You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma'.
Despite being a studio album, Martin did not extensively promote this work on television, and it is considered a rarity in his discography. It reached number 30 on the Billboard country albums chart.
