The International Jim Reeves

 

True

The International Jim Reeves
Produced by Anita Kerr and Chet Atkins
Recorded in RCA Victor's "Nashville Sound" Studio, Nashville, Tenessee
Recording Engineer: Tommy Strong
RCA Victor LSP-2704
1963

From the back cover: Twice Jim's transoceanic travel have taken him to Europe. And his position as South Africa's biggest-selling of all recording artists made a two-week visit last year practically a command performance. What's more, the vast English and Dutch population of South Africa so completely took jim to their hearts that his return this year is for the purpose of promoting a motion picture built around him.

After every trip to a foreign land, Jim brings home native songs – South Africa's Afrikaans folk music, the best-loved ballads of Germany and England, favorites of neighboring Canada and exotic Hawaii.

Jim has visited all of the places most of us only dream of. But we can be transported there in a magical, musical way, with the familiar voice that caresses a melody and treats a lyric with such tenderness... the voice of The International Jim Reeves.
