Title: THIS IS THE ONE!
Review: Well, I don't see "Missing Angel", but oh, well. Even if you like Gentleman Jim's early hokey stuff (like "Yonder Comes a Sucker") before he switched to tales of love that didn't work out, you'll find it here. You can hear an anonymous Floyd Kramer playing on some of these great tunes, all or many of them produced by Nashville great Chet Atkins and arrangements by Anita Kerr whose group backed up many-a country singer. But Jim Reeves wasn't a mere country singer; he had a style more like a Perry Como but with heartfelt passion. He was not the bumpkin type nor like the pop musician that passes for country musician so much today. He was unique. I saw Jim and his back up group, the Blueboys, as a child, at the Humboldt, Tenn., "Strawberry Festival". I still remember that teenage girl next to me with the tears in her eyes from the sheer beauty of it all. By all means, get this work--then go looking for "Missing Angel".
