He is a "brother from another mother", "great minds think alike", "filming of the 9 Jesse Stone movies in Halifax", (RECOMENDED) cruising, and appreciation for the intricacies of Jim Reeves voice, enunciation, and styling.
"A Nickel Piece Of Candy" was a favorite of my late father when I just started out listening to Jim. It is on a lot of the CD's I burn for family listening pleasure including "The Jim Reeves Way" that got it all started.
"Where Do I Go To Throw A Picture Away" reminds me of my wife's family who were heavy into photography, taking historical local pictures and her late uncle who was a Police Photographer. I can tell Roy appreciates the way Jim's voice replicates the pain being felt by the singer. It is an almost unbelievable achievement. The song is a work of art. As are others!
I have to disagree with Roy somewhat on "Somewhere Along The Line". It is up to Jim's standard of course but I like two of Jim's releases that were more Pop than Country better. "Blue Canadian Rockies" (which is on YouTube as a Travel Advertisement Commercial for Canada), and "Heartbreak In Silhouette".
I believe country music purists wouldn't' like either song.
Slight varying opinions. That's OK and encouraged.
