The Jordan family wishes you all Happy Holidays and that 2014 will bring joy, peace and fulfillment to you and yours.
2014 of course is the 50th anniversary year of Jim Reeves' passing and there are some exciting things on the horizon to commemorate this.
Also, December and January around our house tends to be the time of year when I get to hear a lot of new music that Larry is working on. As the owner of the indie label, VoiceMasters, he is once again producing a new CD featuring a well known American artist (not Jim). The end of the year and the beginning of the next tends to be a rather slow period for musicians, so Larry takes advantage of this to tap some really talented people to go into the studio and play on his overdubs. Lately I have been hearing some spectacular new music that consists of rare recordings that haven't been released commercially before, combined with the new instrumental arrangements. It's very interesting and exciting to hear these pieces take shape. I find myself thinking that each one I hear is my favorite...until the next one comes along and then I think THAT one is best!
I'm also told there will be some NEW Jim Reeves music released on certain labels in 2014 that fans will no doubt enjoy. This includes new songs you've never heard Jim sing before. Remember to follow my website for the latest news on all this! -- JULIE
Re: HAPPY HOLIDAYS...AND THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO!
Sounds like some good releases on the way, Julie! I'm curious as to what you meant about some new material on Jim being released soon on "certain labels". This sounds as if they will be released on something other than "Voicemasters", which is where we've been getting all the new releases on Jim for the past decade, thanks to Larry and all the great people that put them together. Will Larry have anything to do with these new releases on Jim?
