MAKE NO MISTAKE! This is not another
compilation of “greatest hits.” In The Great Jim Reeves,
VoiceMasters — which has premiered so many NEW
and previously unreleased songs by Jim — and
producer Larry Jordan, have taken many of Mr.
Reeves’ best-loved songs as well as some
obscure recordings that will be new to you,
stripped them down to get rid of some of the
original instrumentation and remastered Jim's
voice for greater clarity than ever before.
His vocals were then combined with tasteful
new accompaniment, consistent with his own
preferences. By using some of the world's top
musicians, background singers and
orchestrators, these
old tracks sparkle with a rich new
luster, making them sound like Mr.
Reeves just recorded them today!
Jim's voice truly IS timeless. You will
treasure this special, limited-edition
collection for years to come.
The Great Jim Reeves
8-CD set comes in a handsome, unique,
silver-trimmed and high-gloss durable case
which opens like a book. The track listings
are displayed on two panels which then fold
open to reveal all 8 CDs in convenient storage
pockets. There is also a separate 48-page
booklet inside called “Songs &
Recordings” (running about 18,000
words!) in which Larry Jordan (author of the
award-winning, 672-page book, “Jim Reeves: His
Untold Story”), provides fascinating and detailed notes
on each song. He talks about who wrote it, how
it came to be written, why Jim recorded it,
behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the
recording sessions, etc. Larry is also
providing exclusively for this set new
information NOT INCLUDED IN HIS OWN BOOK.
Interspersed in the new booklet are very rare
color and b&w photos, some of which have
never been reproduced anywhere before (including
a color pic Larry took of Mary Reeves the
first time he met her when he was still a
teen and visited her at her invitation in
Nashville!)
Not since that big 16-CD boxed set was
released 20 years ago has anything this
exciting been made available to the fans, and
we fully expect this wonderful, BARGAIN PRICED
8-CD collection of NEW MUSIC to be
regarded by fans with similar enthusiasm. Even if you have
purchased everything that VoiceMasters
and/or H&H Music have released on Jim
in the past, there are still 42 NEW OVERDUBS
contained in The Great Jim Reeves
that you have never
heard before and are released here for
the FIRST TIME. Plus the bonus
booklet — exclusive to this set!

The sound quality on The
Great Jim Reeves is nothing
short of INCREDIBLE. Hear Jim's voice better
than ever before! EVERY track has been
remastered and remixed — not just the
songs that have new music added to them.
So even the selections you think you know will
sound “new and improved.” This really is a
labor of love involving talented people, including
current members of the Grand Ole Opry
band and other top players in Nashville,
plus musicians in Florida, the Carolinas,
Atlanta and even Europe! In some cases, the
original arrangements were augmented with
bigger string sections, better percussion,
woodwinds, brass and/or keyboards to create a
fuller, more complete sound. In other
instances, the original backings were scrapped
and whole new musical treatments were given
Jim's wonderful songs. Compare these tracks to
the originals and you'll hear a much improved
quality...for a more contemporary listening
experience — sometimes with subtle touches,
and on other numbers there will be a BIG
difference!
The CDs are organized to cover a range of
Jim's music, from the better material he
recorded in his earliest days, through his
evolution as a singer, to the smooth
“Nashville Sound,” his inspiring gospel
numbers, Jim's move in a pop direction, his
compelling narratives (his spoken words found
here are improved and simply mesmerizing), and
even folk classics. We have also remastered
his famous concert with the Nashville Symphony
Orchestra and the outstanding live performance
he gave in Oslo, Norway in 1964. This set even
includes a 40-minute wide-ranging interview
with Jim that offers rare insights into his
personality. Need we say more? You can't find a better
collection of NEW MUSIC by Jim Reeves
anywhere else. To hear audio samples,
