Product Review

This is one of the best, most exciting CDs to ever be released on "Gentleman Jim" Reeves! It features 15 all-new (2017) overdubs, including songs that have never been overdubbed before, to update his sound so it now seems as "current" as if he'd just recorded this CD today! "Jim Reeves: A New Way" contains some of his biggest hits as well as lesser-known tunes that may even be unfamiliar to you. The sound is breathtaking! There is even a NEW DUET featuring Jim and a wonderful female singer! Jim Reeves' smooth, incomparably rich voice has a timeless appeal, but a lot of the accompaniment on his original recordings seems very dated, and even stale. So the producer has once again used the technology of the digital age - and a crew of world-class musicians, arrangers and engineers - to bring a contemporary feel to some of Jim's best vocals by showcasing them in sparkling new musical settings! The songs on this CD run the gamut from good, solid country tunes to some pop-flavored offerings and even a song with a bluegrass feel and another with a Latin rhythm! You will thrill to hear the mellow voice of Jim sounding so rich, clear and "present" -- as if he's in the room with you singing just for you. Packaged in a beautiful, "wide wallet" style case, with interesting liner notes on each song by Larry Jordan (author of the award-winning 672-pg epic bio, "Jim Reeves: His Untold Story"), this CD is a true collector's item you will treasure for years to come!
