Thanks for this Juile. I can't wait to receive my copy. I'm sure it will be top flight like the others!
While I'm writing I saw a Stomper Records DVD today with a selection by Jim singing "Caribbean". The quality wasn't quite on par and the audience rather drowned out Jim at times.
Do you happen to know if there's a better quality recording of this song by Jim in existence? Thanks.
Martin.

: In case you bypassed the opening page of my
: site, and came directly to the Fan Forum, I
: want to make sure you did not miss the fact
: that VoiceMasters has just released a NEW CD
: called "Jim Reeves: Shepherd of
: Love." It features 12 tracks that are
: absolutely stunning in their clarity and
: richness, with sparkling new music to make
: it seem as if Jim just recorded these songs
: yesterday!
:
: Trust me. This is not just the "same
: old, same old" retreads, like everybody
: else puts out. Even if you are an avid
: collector, there is something new here for
: you.
:
: Included are NEW vocals by Jim that have
: never been previously released.
:
: I have been listening to these songs around
: our household for some weeks now as my
: husband Larry has worked on them (he is the
: producer for VoiceMasters LLC), and I think
: this may be the best CD yet! There was a
: big-time engineer brought in on this
: project, who has done work for a lot of the
: big country music and gospel stars, and he
: has mastered this CD.
:
: In the past, you have only been able to
: listen to RealAudio samples on the promo
: pages, but this time you can actually hear
: and/or download mp3 samples. (Please note
: that the mp3s, while good, are not "as
: good as" the actual CD).
:
: I also want you to know that we are changing
: our order policies. ALL U.S. ORDERS WILL BE
: SHIPPED WITH A DELIVERY CONFIRMATION STICKER
: to assure tracking/delivery of the CDs. This
: will improve the reliability of service,
: eliminating all doubt as to whether or not
: your order will be received, and in a timely
: manner. Also, all foreign orders will be
: confirmed through postal receipts/customs
: forms. If you still want insurance, there is
: an email link on the promo page to let me
: know.
:
: This CD is so polished and so pretty, it is
: really big-league. Some wonderful people
: were involved with it, and they were working
: overtime, late at night, weekends and even
: holidays to get this finished so you could
: enjoy it for the Christmas season. Wesley
: Pritchard, whom you can see each week on
: those Bill and Gloria Gaither TV shows, had
: a direct involvement in this project, and he
: is singing on 5 of the tracks, along with a
: total of 6 other singers. It's the first
: time that just guys have sung on some tracks
: (like "Distant Drums," "He'll
: Have To Go," and "He Will.")
: Wes has sung with some of the greats in the
: music business. Also, wait til you hear the
: bass singer on some of those songs!
:
: Milton Smith's new arrangement on
: "Distant Drums" is so beautiful,
: and there is a male chorus that sings with
: Jim at various points in the song. It is a
: orchestral arrangement.
:
: Another highlight is "Rudolph the
: Red-Nosed Reindeer." You are going to
: LOVE this new version, which is longer and
: in a different tempo than what VM previously
: put out. It is one of the best versions of
: the song I have ever heard by any artist!
: This track alone is worth the price of the
: CD.
:
: I will probably have more to say about this
: CD later on, but I just wanted to make a few
: comments to underscore how wonderful this
: new one is. I hope you will all enjoy it.
:
: Just click the link below to hear song
: samples and to place your order.

: Happy Holidays! -- Julie
