5.0 out of 5 stars Memories with Jim, August 5, 2005

My parents had "A Touch of Velvet" when I was growing up in the 60s. I loved the melodies, Jim Reeves's voice, and the strings. The arrangements are beautiful. The songs are ballads with a country flavor and the clean sound is characteristic of Nashville in the 50s and 60s.
Being able to hear this beautiful music again is a real treat. Jim Reeves was a wonderful talent, largely forgotten today, but still very listenable. I recommend this highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jim at his very best, December 14, 2004

These two albums are the best he ever recorded in my opinion. The
"Talkin to your heart" album are wonderful recitations. The "Touch
of velvet" is outstanding. Jim is at top form, what a great voice.
If you like anything by Jim Reeves then this CD is a must.

This review is from: Talking to Your Heart / Touch of Velvet (Audio CD)

I grew up listening to Jim Reeves' music. He was called the Voice of Velvet. Few people in history have had the vocal quality of this superstar who died way too young. Besides the beautiful melodies included in the Touch of Velvet album and Jim's many other albums, he lent his speaking voice to poetry and stories in the Talking to Your Heart album. Old Tige was always a family favorite. But for me Jim's oration of The Spell of the Yukon is worth the price of the CD and then some. Some people consider the poems on this album to be corny. I say just enjoy them. Sit back and listen. Lose yourself in the voice of velvet.
