Jim Reeves - Twelve Songs of Christmas

It is wonderfull

When I was a child growing up in Houston, Texas in the 1960's and '70's this album was played every Christmas non- stop. My mother bought it for the family. I knew every song by heart. Well, life happens and we all go our own directions. It's been roughly over 30 years since I've heard this album, which is now CD! Since purchasing it, I have not stopped playing it. It has brought back so many great and personal memories. If your a Jim Reeves fan, you'll love it. If your just discovering the artist Jim Reeves you'll understand why he is so respected. His dynamic voice sets him apart from all others. This is a must for all Christmas music libraries!

I have the record & a 8-track player of Jim Reeves 12 Songs of Christmas & use to enjoy them, but outdated I no longer listened to that Christmas music. Then, I happened to "stumble" on to the Christmas music on Amazon by accident & to my surprise I found what I had searched for in the past but could not find & actually had given up on. I am delighted with this CD. It sounds better than the original record & 8-track that I have. I am still listening to it in my car & enjoying it just as much as the day I received it. Speaking of receiving merchandise from Amazon, I have not ever seen anyone to ship your items as quickly as Amazon does. I mean, they don't fool around. My thanks goes out to Amazon for the superior merchandise & low prices & for the fast delivery.

Best voice for christmas songs. Good product with nice packing. Cd sealed with perfect condition

Jim Reeves Christmas music on cd. My favorite artist of all time! Great addition to your Christmas collection!

If you're a fan of Jim Reeves (1923-1964) you're almost sure to own this album. If you're not a fan, it's an album with merit. Reeves's buttery voice, a mezzo-baritone, is accompanied by a female chorus and lush orchestral arrangements, which capture something of the "countrypolitan" sound that Chet Atkins perfected while producing country music at RCA during the 1960s. The standout tracks are those Reeves made famous: "An Old Christmas Card" and "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S," as well as a very respectable cover of "Blue Christmas." This is not a flashy album—that was not this singer's style, and one wishes he had loosened up just a mite—but it's a solid one.

My dad Had a vinyl version of this CD in my youth. An absolute favorite of mine.

For me and my family, it's not the Christmas season until we hear all of the songs being sung on this album by Jim Reeves. The are beautiful and lighthearted.

I can remember listening to this album on my dad’s turntable as a small child back around 1971, and loved it from then on. I’ve still got the original LP which is all analog and still sounds very good. Forward to today, the remastered CD sounds very good indeed if a little bass heavy on some tracks. However, it’s like Jim is in the room with me so good these RCA recordings are. It is by far the best Christmas album I’ve ever heard and brings back lovely memories of growing up in a somewhat ‘innocent’ era.

wer Country liebt und sanfte Töne wird von dieser CD begeistert sein. Wie bei vielen anderen Dingen auch ist das natürlich Geschmacksache

Best Christmas album ever recorded. Reviewed by my son, all of 27 years of age. Proof is in the pudding. 😊

Grew up with the voice of Jim Reeves playing on the turntable. Every Christmas my dad would put on this Christmas LP of Jim Reeves. It really made Christmas Christmas. In no time, I knew all the lyrics and sang along. This and the other was the Children's Christmas Sing Along from back in the 1960s/70s. Had a bit of a nostalgic twinge this past Christmas, missing the sound of the LP amongst all the other Christmas CDs I was playing. With my dad not getting any younger, and missing singing along with Jim during Christmas (instead of just the Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters), I decided to search for this on Amazon and found it. Still a classic for me.

My father bought me the LP, many years ago. I have always loved it. Now this year it will feel like Christmas.
