I have had this two CD package for some time, and I don't know why I waited until now to listen to it. Somehow, I laid it aside and forgot about it until I got an email recently from Julie about the album. I found it and have been listening to it this weekend. I want to say to all of Jim's fans that, if you don't have this, you would love it. I highly recommend that you buy it as soon as you can. It has some things on it that I had never heard, as well as many of the songs we are so familiar with, many made better by Larry's working on them. All of us who love Jim and regard him as one of our heroes will be glad that we have this album in our collection.
For those who don't know, this is a 144 minute documentary that was released in tandem with Larry Jordan's book, "Jim Reeves: His Untold Story."
It contains fresh interviews with Jim that have not appeared anywhere else, including comments he made on his bus and put onto a small tape recorder while he was traveling with the Blue Boys -- like an audio diary.
Dan Hurst, who is one of America's top voice talents and who is heard on major TV and radio commercials, narrated this truly compelling biography of Jim. Larry provided many insightful comments. And there are 20 overdubs of RCA masters.
The 2 CD set comes in a wallet style high gloss case and is a real treasure for anybody who loves Jim Reeves. It is absolutely engrossing to listen to and you will learn many things about our favorite singer.
