Legendary velvet voiced country star Jim Reeves remained highly marketable five years after his death. To meet the continuing demand for new product, A Touch Of Sadness, a collection of melancholic older material, was released in the UK. (UK:15)
"The only thing that has always bothered me about Jim Reeves is the amount of negativity depicted in the songs. A quick glance at the track listing reveals a plethora of words implying heartbreak, loneliness and worry. All this, when added up, can sometimes have a somewhat neutralising effect. A perfect voice that is very uplifting, soft guitar, gently strumming and lyrics awash with doom and gloom."
"Jim Reeves always had an excellent voice and even though he did not write many of his own tunes, he was a pretty good musician to boot." ,p> "You Kept Me Awake Last Night has soothing lyrics and the typical velvet touch of the Reeves voice. This song will sure send me off to sweet sleep. Wonderful orchestration by the Nashville 'A' team of pianists, woodwind and string artists."
"With When You Are Gone Jim Reeves has the ability to turn the simplest song into a real gem."
