Jim Reeves and Friends Live From Nashville
This EU import, “Jim Reeves And Friends Live From Nashville,” debuts a bonanza of previously unreleased recordings featuring Jim as well as other stars, (Patsy Cline sings two songs!), including guest shots by the Everly Brothers and “the female Elvis”, Janis Martin, who join Reeves on stage for these live broadcasts! Only ONE of the performances by Jim (he does 23 out of 34 tracks total!) has ever seen commercial release on CD of vinyl. (Even songs that seem the same as the old CMF LP — “Overnight,” “I Missed Me,” and “Peace In the Valley” — are DIFFERENT VERSIONS here). Enjoy renditions of some of Jim's songs like “Partners,” and “Highway To Nowhere” which he sings better live than he did on the RCA masters. On this new CD, you get to hear Mr. Reeves interact with his Music City colleagues. He also does something very unique: he yodels, and “calls” a square dance! As a bonus, Jim does a lively duet with June Carter on “Worried Man Blues” that makes its worldwide commercial debut here. Jim dedicates his mother's favorite hymn to her and sings it with the Jordanaires. You will thrill to the electrifying performances of guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins, the banjo picking of Stringbean, the honky-tonk piano skills of Del Wood, and the fiddle playing of Tommy Jackson. The Blue Boys shine in “When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.”  Duncan Warwick, writing in Country Music People magazine, says “Reeves sounds terrific, but then he did possess one of the purest voices of all time...Essentially this is a Jim Reeves release, aimed at the die-hard fans and I would imagine them being delighted with it and feel it worthy of five stars.” Note this release runs 77 mins (some old CD players can only play 74) and the sound is awesome, rich and clear! FYI, this CD is being trashed by an obsessive "fan/hoarder" who uses aliases to post personal attacks on the producer to discourage sales. Don't fall for this ruse!
