Considered by many to be Jim Reeves's best collection, Good 'N' Country peaked at No. 7 on the NME album chart. Contains the UK No. 6 hit There's A Heartache Following Me.
"The Good 'N' Country album contains ten of Jim's best ever recordings. Indeed, it is likely that Good 'N' Country would be voted favourite album by the majority of Jim Reeves fans. Originally released in the budget RCA Camden label and featuring mainly cover versions of contemporary country hits, this album shows Jim Reeves at his very best. He has taken hits by others and turned them into his own, and one of them There's A Heartache Following Me became a UK hit and a classic. He was at his very best when backed by a lighter country sound which allowed the warmth of his rich baritone voice to shine through."
"I own a very old copy on vinyl which is quite worn out. It is Jim Reeves at his best and we all know what he is capable of with that wonderful voice. Songs from my childhood and truly wonderful memories. Would recommend this to anyone who loves the true sound of country music."
"This is a magnificent country album which every collector of Jim Reeves songs should have and will, I am certain, treasure forever."
"This is my all time favourite album by Jim. It is a tragedy that so many of his 'country' songs were overdubbed with such overwhelming orchestration."
"Bottle Take Effect is my all time favourite 'unknown' Jim Reeves song, the best song he ever wrote in my opinion, and one of the best he ever recorded. Too bad only JR diehards even know that it exists. It's as 'down home look you in the eye' country as it gets."
"This is the best album Jim ever did. Three tracks on this album are on my top five records of all time."
