Notes and References
- Time - Volume 92, Issues 1-9 - Page 96 1968 "JIM REEVES: A TOUCH OF SADNESS (RCA | Victor). His records still sell as if he had not died in a plane crash four years ago. And no wonder. Reeves had an infallible touch with old-style ballads, a combination of smooth virility and naivete that inspires a secret smile of empathy in most listeners. This disk is one more of his innumerable posthumous albums, but 'Dallas Townsend and Robert Trout have been to more Republican Conventions than most Republicans'...."
