A collection of sentimental songs showcasing the velvet voice of Jim Reeves. At this time he was broadening his style away from his country roots to adopt a more mainstream easy listening approach for which his voice was ideally suited. The Intimate Jim Reeves contains the UK top twenty hit single You’re The Only Good Thing. (UK:12)

“I grew up listening to this album and have probably heard it over 100 times. I was recently able to gather up all the songs that are on this album and listen to them again. They are all still just as smooth, silky and relaxing now as they were then. Nowhere in today's music world will you find an artist with a voice as soothing as Jim Reeves.”

“Simply put...the greatest and most beautiful voice God has ever given anyone, and a magnificent recording. There was no one with, or will there ever be, a more trained or perfect voice. A standard by which all singers should be measured.”

“It sparkles with the velvety sentiments of a lover's heart and this superb collection of songs is exceedingly touching. Jim Reeves does his usual outstanding vocal arrangements.”

“Very good, I always loved Gentleman Jim. His songs are breathtaking and soothing. The voice of Jim Reeves has no equal.”

"Most of these songs were originally recorded by different singers. All are romantic ballads that bring to mind past memories. A great collection for sentimental or romantic types.”
