(1966) http://blog.shayneparrish.com/2009/02/15/easy-listening-sunday-martin-denny-1966/ http://blog.shayneparrish.com/2009/02/15/easy-listening-sunday-martin-denny-1966/#comments Sun, 15 Feb 2009 21:25:18 +0000 Shayne Parrish http://blog.shayneparrish.com/?p=21 Martin Denny!Most of the records I post will likely be soul/R&B, but I have a wide variety of tastes (and vinyl), so I will be mixing it up regularly. Sunday after Valentine’s Day sounds pretty laid back to me, so here’s some nice out-of-print easy listening to help.

Although he’s probably best known for his forays into lounge/exotica, Martin Denny released a TON of records, many of which have never been subsequently released. This one is a collection of standards from 1966, simply titled “Martin Denny!” Nothing ground-breaking, but a very nice set of standard tunes showcasing Denny’s unique style.

My copy isn’t exactly pristine in nature, so there is a bit of noise on the tracks. I cleaned it up and compressed to keep it to a minimum, though, and it just adds to the ambience, right? Relax and enjoy!
