Reeves voice is incomparable and the song selections are great! The production values are dull. Reeves recorded at a time during the sixties when arrangements were lush with strings, which I love. For those who love simple arrangements, this is the CD for you as Reeves voice is the primary attraction. If you want a voice complemented by sophisticated production (aka the sixties sound) you will be disappointed. The songs are great, Reeves is great, the production not so great!
I bought this CD a few years ago. It was manufactured in Belgium and contained a strange clear seal on the playing side. I discovered that it would only play in top loading CD players and not without interference. I had to have it professionally recopied and it cost me $25.00. I guess it was made to play on Region 2 DVD players.
I now enjoy the beautiful voice I enjoyed as a child while living in a British colonial nation, with the BBC providing the inspiration. Since most of Jim's CD's are manufactured overseas clear the compatibility hurdle before purchasing.
I bought this for my Dad's birthday, and he plays it most every Sunday. Reeves reminds me of Eddy Arnold's smooth style.
