C&L's Late Night Music Club with Jim Reeves
By driftglass Monday Dec 29, 2008 8:00pmA lonely street. A dying cowboy. A story recounted to a passing stranger.
This is just about as traditional as American western musical narrative gets.
PS. Rest in Peace to the great trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. We certainly are losing a lot of amazing performers lately...

Has there ever been a smoother voice than Jim Reeves'?
Marty Robbins
Roy Orbison
make up the triumvirate
out where the bright lights are glowing your drawn like a moth to a flame out where the wines overflowing and i set here and whisper your name vaya con dios
What a sad, but lovely, song.
Wanna dance? (with mrs tyree's permission, of course)
sorry calgary i cant dance a lick!
but that guitar's first or second string is seriously out of tune or dead. My head explodes when I hear that kind of thing. Where was the recording engineer? He should have caught that right away and either fixed it or provided Jim or his accompanist with a properly tuned instrument. Argh!

American western musical narrative, a Mountain chestnut:

I had the privilege of hearing Freddie Hubbard in concert around 1990, purely by accident. I had purchased a ticket for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Upon arrival at the concert hall, Hubbard took the stage, and announced that Bu had terminal cancer and was unable to play again.
The remainder of the evening was spent in awe, while Hubbard and his band reverently and joyously played Blakey's greatest songs for an East Tennessee audience.
Look in the dictionary under "class"--if Hubbard's picture is not in there, it should be.
Not to be to picky but that cowboy in the song is already dead, not dying.
...a few days before... Reeves died when the small aircraft he was piloting crashed during a thunderstorm near Nashville, Tennessee.
He was my Mom's favorite and was playing at the fairgrounds near where I lived.

My Mom wasn't much of a country fan - she had exactly one country album, by Jim Reeves.
Thanks for posting this. It's a beautiful song, and it brings back memories of someone sadly missed by yours truly.
My dad, who died 15 years ago, was a big Jim Reeves fan. Amazing that you bring him up tonight. I remember listening to dad's records in the 60s.
One of the best performances from a great singer.
....produced this recording, and you'd think he'd know something about tuning a guitar.
