(1957)"Swingin' Down Yonder" is the first full-length, 12-inch
album recorded byDean Martin for Capitol Records during three sessions in September & October 1954 and February 1955. According to the original sleeve notes, all the songs have a "common geographical root: the American South." The1991 Capitol Records CD reissue added eight bonus tracks which for the most part uphold the Dixieland sound. By contrast, the 2005 Collectors' Choice reissue selected four bonus tracks of dubious connection to the American South, including "Under the Bridges of Paris."Track listing
