Performer: Jim Reeves
Distributor: City Hall Notes: I Lived a Lot in My Time highlights Jim Reeves earliest hit recordings after signing with RCA Victor in 1955. The 24 tracks include the chart-toppers "Bimbo," "Anna Marie," "Am I Losing You?" "Blue Boy" and "Billy Bayou." While this is an enjoyable disc, with a few alternate takes to boot, too many indispensable tracks are missing. The Essential Jim Reeves on RCA is the better buy. ~ Al Campbell
Reeves's smooth, velvety voice is easy on the ears, as are the 'Nashville Sound' instrumental tracks behind it, but Jim Reeves was pure country. Although no one would ever confuse him with Hank Williams, Reeves cut such sides as "Four Walls," "He'll Have to Go," and "Distant Drums," all as much a part of the country canon as "Your Cheatin' Heart." Reeves, Eddy Arnold, and Patsy Cline pretty well defined country's sophisticated sound during the '50s and '60s.
