Beautiful Life: Songs Of Inspiration

Gentleman Jim Reeves wasn't just the voice of the Nashville Sound, his honey-smooth tone and intimate delivery were the perfect vehicle for a series of Country Gospel and inspirational recordings, recordings that have stood the test of time as among the finest of their kind. This 20-track collection cherry-picks the top tracks from Jim's Gospel ALBUMS SONGS TO WARM YOUR HEART, GOD BE WITH YOU, WE THANK THEE and MY CATHEDRAL to create the ultimate Jim Reeves inspirational collection. Among the many highlights are 'In the Garden', with backing by the Anita Kerr Singers, 'May the Good Lord Bless You and Keep You', which rivals Eddy Arnold's version, and Stuart Hamblens song 'It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)', in which Reeves voice embodies the sound of true faith and devotion. John Alexander supplies the notes to this essential collection, which is gloriously remastered by Tim Sturges at Battery Studios in New York.
