If I had to pick a favorite Jim Reeves recording it would be very difficult. I love so many of his songs. But if I was forced, I'd probably choose "Is It Really Over", which Jim recorded on his last day in the studio. Jim wrote it and I've always loved it. I got the album "Distant Drums" for Christmas in 1966 (I was 14 at the time) and "Is It Really Over" is one of the tunes on that album. I had mentioned to my mother that I really loved to hear Jim sing, so she got the album for me for Christmas. It was the first Jim Reeves album I ever owned. I played it over and over until I about wore it out. Anyway, July 2,1964 was a very special day for us who love Jim.
