JIM REEVES IS BEST REMEMBERED NOW AS A CROSS-OVER ARTIST BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN COUNTRY AND POP, BUT HIS ROOTS WERE PURE COUNTRY. WHEN JIM RECORDED THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM FOR ABBOTT RECORDS, THE INDEPENDENT LABEL WHICH LAUNCHED HIM ON HIS CAREER, HE WAS KNOWN ONLY TO LOCAL AUDIENCES AROUND LOUISIANA AND EAST TEXAS.

JIM'S FIRST RECORDING FOR ABBOTT WAS IN 1953, WAGON LOAD OF LOVE, WHICH FAILED TO CAPTURE A WIDE AUDIENCE, BUT JIM'S SECOND SINGLE BROUGHT HIM TO NATIONAL ATTENTION. MEXICAN JOE BECAME A BEST-SELLER, REACHING THE NO. 1 SPOT ON MANY OF THE COUNTRY CHARTS, AND PUT JIM REEVES ON THE MAP. IN THE SAME YEAR BIMBO TOPPED THE CHARTS AND OTHER HITS SOON FOLLOWED.

IN THIS COLLECTION FROM 1953-1955, WE HEAR WHAT WAS LATER WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS 'GENTLEMAN JIM'S' TRADEMARK SOUND. JIM'S 'VELVET' VOICE CREATES AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS LISTENERS. GREAT TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC *****
