Disco de Jim Reeves: “Twelve Songs of Christmas [BMG Special Products]”

I'd like to start this review by stating that the title of this album, "Twelve Songs of Christmas" is what it says it is. The 12 songs on this album are Christmas classics done by one of country music's greatest and most complex artists of all time all in great sounding stereo and is one of the highlights of the Nashville Sound of the 1960's. A few of the highlights on here include "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S," "Old Christmas Card," "Senor Santa Claus," "Mary's Boy Child," and many others. If you can find this album at any price, it is a must buy and a purchase you will not regret. Another important note is that the album was originally released in 1963 at a time shortly before Jim died in a plane crash in 1964.

I grew up with this Album, on vinyl! It was one of my very first exposures of American Music (I'm a German Immigrant), and my stepfather couldn't have picked a better artist! "Gentleman Jim Reeves" has a smooth voice that naturally makes you want to at least hum along with all of his songs! Not huge on Country Music myself, but I LOVE anything by Jim Reeves, he is a pure classic that can't be passed up! If you're a Bing Crosby fan, you will fall in love with Jim Reeves on this Album, guarenteed! I was totally elated to see it out on CD so that I can keep up the tradition of playing this album for my four children without worrying about anything happening to my classic LP (which is now safely stored!). If you want the absolute best in Christmas Music, you will find it on this album, it's a "must buy" no matter what the cost! My kids prefer this CD to any other (I have a VAST collection of Christmas CD's) when trimming the tree. We have three absolute favorites when it comes to Christmas albums.... this one... and 4 Him- The Season Of Love....as well as 98 Degrees- This Christmas. We LOVE any kind of Music, but these are the most outstanding and I personally recommend them to anyone!!! One drawback of this album? Sure! The Cover Photo is not on this webpage!!! White background with Jim Reeves in a sweater leaning through a Huge Christmas Wreath....classic, just like He is! BUY IT! You will NOT regret it!!!

This is a very good Christmas album from an extremely good singer who dies before his time. A few of the selections are different from the normal fare. I like his version of 'Blue Christmas'. He's the only one I've hear sing ' An Old Christmas card and it grows on you. A tad too short is the only fault I've got with this one.

My family had an LP of this collection which we bought in 1978. We listened to this album for 24 christmas'. Its one of the Greatest Christmas albums ever. Christmas songs & the voice of Jim Reeves fits like a hand in a glove. As many of the other reviews said, I too grew up with this music & Christmas will not be the same without this music.

This is the best Christmas Songs CD available.

Please buy this for yourself and as a gift for someone you love.

My parents and my family members also love the christmas songs of Jim Reeves.

I have heard these Jim Reeves songs from my childhood and it is extremely popular in India.
