Milestones of a Country Legend [Box Set]

~ Release by Jim Reeves (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

10 CD box set featuring fifteen original albums plus bonus several dozen bonus songs from the years 1956-62 by the country star Jim Reeves. It includes romantic hits in the Nashville sound, from "Adios Amigo" to "Memories Are Made of This".

His first single, "Mexican Joe" made it to number one of the Country Charts in 1953, and so he came to the attention of the record company RCA. There followed a long series of hits featuring his velvety baritone voice such as "According To My Heart" and "He'll Have To Go". In 1967 he was posthumously awarded the highest honor that country music can give, by being admitted to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
