Performer: Jim Reeves
Distributor: IDN Distribution Notes: The country balladeer Jim Reeves, whose warm, intimate vocal style influenced such performers such as Don Williams and Daniel O'Donnell, performs a selection of hits from both his early 1950s career and the period immediately before his untimely death in 1964.
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.
