The album 'Dino' was released in 1972 by Reprise Records, marking Dean Martin's return to studio recording after a brief hiatus. Produced by Jimmy Bowen, the album aimed to modernize Martin's sound with orchestral arrangements and a repertoire that included covers of contemporary hits.
The album reached number 119 on the Billboard 200 chart, and its lead single, 'The Candy Man', became a minor hit, peaking at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although not one of Martin's most acclaimed works, it reflected his ability to adapt to the musical trends of the early 1970s.
The album cover shows Dean Martin in casual attire, sitting on a stool in a recording studio. The album was reissued on CD by several labels, including Collectors' Choice Music, and remains a piece of interest for collectors of the singer.
