Jim Reeves

The smooth, warm baritone of Jim Reeves represents the sophisticated, pop-influenced Nashville Sound that emerged during the late 1950s and early 1960s, that helped to promote country music to new commercial heights. 

Reeves first recorded for the Macy’s label in Houston in the forties, but began in ernest with Abbott Records in 1952. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in October 1955 on the strength of early hits on RCA.

Gentleman Jim's hard country approach eventually gave way to a transition to love ballads using his trademark low register and intimate recording style.  His number one crossover hit Four Walls epitomised this style.

Jim Reeves was killed in a plane crash in 1964, but his recordings have continued to sell long after his death. Posthumous hits helped him win election to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967, and he charted regularly into the early 1970s.
