After debuting at No. 1 last week, Jim Reeves’s album The Essential falls to No. 2 with 578,000, a sales slide of 95%. The Essential carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This is one of the best Cd’s Jim Reeves has dropped to date. This is what good Pop should be.
Music and lyrics of Blue Boy creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. He’ll Have To Go I just LOVE this mix! If you are a Jim Reeves fan, you will love Home. Jim Reeves breathes new life into the music in Am I Losing You. The Blizzard is gorgeous work of Jim Reeves. I’m Gettin’ Better is one of the coolest songs Jim Reeves has ever recorded. Jim Reeves is one of artists that allow his songs like I Know One to stand on their own and be heard. Adios Amigos is so unique, as each one of the songs is. I Love You Because - I like this one. I’m Gonna Change Everything is a fine track on any terms. Welcome To My World is really the reason why I recommend buying The Essential. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. I like I Guess I’m Crazy because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. This Is It is nothing but pure genius. Is It Really Over marked the continuation of Jim Reeves in style evolution. One listen to the sheer beauty of Distant Drums was all I needed. I Won’t Forget You is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Blue Side Of Lonesome is beautiful, yet underrated track. Suppertime is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit.
