On Stage – JIM REEVES**

Mexican Joe/Yonder Comes A Sucker/Four Walls/I Missed Me/Tennessee Waltz/I Really Don’t Want To Know/ He’ll Have To Go/Walking The Floor Over You/There Stands The Glass/One By One/Guess Things Happen That Way/I Want To Be With You Always/Wildwood Flower/The Blizzard/Your Old Love Letters/Am I Losing You/ Bimbo/Stand At Your Window/Danny Boy

Unfortunately, there are very few recordings of country legend Jim Reeves’ live performances. The only such LP released in the 1960s, On Stage consists of an amateur recording with large chunks of dialogue, and is likely to appeal only to committed fans. (UK:13)

“Amateur recording of medleys with songs impersonating other singers interspersed with dialogue from Jim on stage with The Blue Boys.”

“This album was recorded on stage, live and in the rain at a small park in Pennsylvania."

“I never get tired of listening to this medley. Jim Reeves was such a good musician, and supremely talented.”

“It features what some regard as a somewhat atypical show with abbreviated versions of his songs.”
