Platinum & Gold Collection in Bloomington, MN

Here is yet another reissue of
Jim Reeves
' greatest hits. The 12-track
Platinum & Gold Collection
spotlights
' crossover recordings, some of which were the earliest in
country
music to be tagged with the term "
Nashville Sound
." Included are the
Chet Atkins
-produced hits
"Is It Really Over?"
"I Won't Come in While He's There,"
"Four Walls,"
and
"He'll Have to Go."
Another highlight is the 1964 duet with
Dottie West
,
"Love Is No Excuse,"
which was a Top Ten hit in 1964. While this is a decent, affordable disc, it leaves off too many of
Reeves
' classics to be definitive. ~ Al Campbell
