Jim Reeves Album: “We Thank Thee [1996 Import] [Bonus Tracks]”

What a beautiful album by the velvet voice of country music Mr. Jim Reeves! When released in 1962 this album had 12 songs on it, this remastered version has 16. The sound quality is superb! The song selection, marvelous! Tracks like "Where we'll never grow old", "I'd rather have Jesus", and "My Cathedral" are gospel music classics! And who better to sing these hymns than Jim Reeves. Even if you don't like religious music, you can't help but love this cd. 36 years after his death, these Jim Reeves recordings still sound as fresh as the day they were recorded. And if you have always been curious about the velvet voice of Jim Reeves, look no further! This is a great way to get to know this man's timeless voice. I'm glad this is a cd release, if it were on vinyl, it would be worn out by now! I strongly recommend this cd to anyone who enjoys Jim Reeves, and especially to music fans who never heard of Gentlemen Jim. You like music? This will be music to EVERYONE'S EARS!!! Thank You Jim Reeves for such a beautiful album, for generations to come.

I remember as a boy growing up in the virgin islands during the early 70's my parents had a gospel album that they used to play over & over & over again. As I grew older I fell in love with probably the most smoothest, silky voice I ever heard. I used to dream of hearing that voice again. I thought I never would, now I thank God that there is some thing called the internet and also amazon.com, you just don't know how happy you've made me. valence

This has been and still is one of the most beautiful inspirational albums by the inimitable Jim Reeves that I have really enjoyed many decades ago as a teenager in Guyana, a former British colony.It is a spiritual banquet for the soul and a great source of comfort to the heart. I love the beautiful renditions of We Thank Thee, Where We'll Never Grow Old,I'll Fly Away,Across The Bridge, Have Thine Own Way Lord. My Cathedral, The Night Watch,I'd Rather Have Jesus, Where Do I Go From Here, Take My Hand Precious Lord, This World Is Not My Home, Oh, Gentle Shepherd and How Long Has It Been.I feel that Jim Reeves was one of God's greatest gifts to man, with his sweet rich, velvety, baritone voice. The album is a collector's treat.Enjoy!

As a teenager I didn't realize how much hearing this music affected my life; but as an adult it brings peace to my soul. Jim Reeves sings each song with heart felt passion.

Great selection.Filled with so many memories of growing up.Have played this non stop since I bought it 3 weeks ago.Sent one to my brother as well.He was thrilled.Highly recommended!
