About The Record:

My Woman, My Woman, My Wife by Dean Martin, is a collection of country-influenced covers produced by Jimmy Bowen, featuring lush arrangements by John Bahler, Glen D. Hardin, and Billy Strange with the Jimmy Bowen Orchestra and Chorus. The album consists entirely of interpretations of recent country hits, including standout tracks like Detroit City, Make the World Go Away, and Together Again, showcasing Martin's smooth vocal style applied to material originally popularized by artists such as Bobby Bare, Eddy Arnold, and Buck Owens. Uniquely, the title track—a cover of Marty Robbins' Grammy-winning song—was promoted by Reprise Records as Martin's playful "open letter" to the Women's Liberation movement, adding a layer of cultural commentary amid the era's social shifts. The title song remains a fan-favorite, often praised for its emotional depth in Martin's renditions, including live performances on his television show. At this point in his career, Martin recorded albums efficiently in just a few days each spring, reflecting his relaxed approach to studio work during a period dominated by his successful TV variety show.
