Jim Reeves - Blue skies EP 45 rpm

[dogkelp]

Some of the comments here show how gravely our "music education" system has failed to give people a real sense of where music comes from and how different styles relate to each other. So little mutual respect and true passion for sound.

[klokheten]

Though almost 50 years have passed since the tragic accident,

Gentleman Jim hasn´t got any successor,and will never have.

The voice of Jim Reeves and his art of interpretation will always be

remembered as unsurpassed.

[coffeescup]

when it started without backing music, i almost thought he was going to go full-on jazz. would have been nice.

[ARDrrr]

@sannitig, et al... if you want more, search out Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, here on YouTube and Google? Also... old black and white movies... 30's, 40's, 50's had some great music and performances in their movies.

Kind of a different Jim Reeves than what I'm used to, grew up on.

[TheEleventhIndian]

I prefer this version to Sinatra's and Willie's ; Jim Reeves has a album on CD called A Touch of Velvet crica early 60's? (Mostly Jazz and American Stadards like this-smooth munch). Surprised that neither Buble,Bieber, or Beyonce haven't tried to rework it

[alliecat1941]

This more of a pop song...if you notice..willie nelson sings some pop songs too. he sings Blue skies.....this is more like bluezy though..

[ahlyne]

Jim Reeves caputes the essence of this song.. e'nuff said..... to hell with Berlin(sorry but its TRUE.)

[larrydonguy]

@ahlyne To hell with the man who wrote the song (both music and lyrics) that "Jim Reeves captures the essence of"? I don't get it.

[TheBJDillon]

I absolutely love this song! It's from the 1920s isn't it? It's really ironic because the stock market crashed soon after.

[tupac41424]

@TheBJDillon yes and right before it crashed americas was great because of all the new products including tosters and ect, then it crashed :)

[omropapi504]

kim albrecht this is for you ...jems

[larrydonguy]

Wow! Excellent arrangement of a non-country standard and Reeves, as usual, was in good voice. I think that he and Ray Price had the best male voices in country music. A treat!

[emosrockballs1]

do you think you can send me this mp3?

message me and ill give you my email....

[asderso]

Jendor09, thank you !!

[ocpud2999]

A true classic

[vinylvend]

Oh man, there is nothing Jim Reeves can't sing, this is absolutely wonderful!!!!

Thanks for sharing it!

[jbdanfan]

I like "Welcome to My World" better, but this is very nice. Trying to picture modern "country" artists like Rascal Flatts singing this, lol.

[ocpud2999]

Yea that is funny. Country has really changed, It is more like southern Rock. Which I like but don't call it country

[InfantIncinerator84]

love this song.

[5121949]

the song is from 1962,

[sannitig]

I first heard this song on Star Trek Nemesis. Data sings it in the begining. Jim Reeves is much much better. Does anyone know of more music like this song? I grabbed some Jim Reeves stuff but it's not like this song. This is Jazzy, chilled out, groovey. I want more.

[captainredneck1983]

Data is all I can think of, too. (His version was supposed to be corny, though.)

Jim Reeves was billed as the Original Velvet Fog. Easy to see why.

[pukkoku]

Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble is a more modern singer like this

[posaico]

these country artists: ferlin husky and jim reeves make excelents versions of this standard, cheek the other is excelent too

[JAJF86]

absoultly amazing, i couldnt believe it when i saw this song sung by jim reeves. great stuff, cheers!

[maximus535]

One of my favorites, very nice.
