“Singing Down The Lane” by Jim Reeves - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1956 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1950s |
Gentleman Jim settled into his new home at RCA with a typically dependable set for which he would become famous over the next several years. He’s rarely what you’d call exciting but I admit to a soft-spot for the richly baritoned one, a regular on my Nanna’s old gramophone player (I’ve inherited his LPs!) Two of these selections are from his own pen, including a paean to Ichabod Crane, who was the protagonist in Washington Irving's short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, first published in 1820. Bet the Jim Reeves fans wish they had Wikipedia in 1956 ; - )
