A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)
As we discussed on my blog, Kid, there's a very thin line between blues and country during the era that Jim Reeves sang. Most of the country artists listened to blues and most of the blues artists listened to the Grand Ole Opry when they were younger, so the influence goes both ways, especially in the Mississippi Delta.
I seem to vaguely recall us discussing this on your blog, G, but such is the gossamer nature of my memory these days, I don't always remember things in any great detail. Did you like this song?

I did like it. Reeves had a great voice and could handle a variety of styles if he chose to.
Yeah. I consider him the best balladeer of the 20th century. Cheers.
