Jim Reeves Album: “Distant Drums”

This album originally came out on RCA in 1966, compiled from songs recorded from 1957-1964 and 1964 was the year he died. Some of the biggest hits on here include title song, "Is It Really Over" and "I Missed Me," "Snow Flake." Other classics on the album include "Overnight," "This Is It," and "I Missed Me." It is definitely worth buying if you are looking for more Jim Reeves music besides a hits compilation. It is definitely a classic, of course, the one and only Chet Atkins produced it and is a must have for Jim's fans.

Remembering playing this album on my college radio station, now it brings back what country music was all about in the 1960's. This is the must to have album of Jim Reeves.

I can only listen to this album ocassionally because it's full of such heart felt emotion that it needs to be digested in small doses. However, when it's time to listen to "Distant Drums", this album has an unparalleled healing power. Jim Reeves' voice defines the term "velvety". This is a must for anyone prone to depression. Get "Distant Drums" and throw out your Prozac!
