Soon he returned to baseball, playing in the semi-professional leagues before signing with the St. Louis Cardinals farm team in 1944 as a right-handed pitcher.

This is "Real Country" not that country copy cat songs we hear today. What ever happened to be your own voice, not someone else's . The new artists , while having very good voices tend to mimic someone else. Warbling in excess is NOT Country! Jim Reeves was a true Classic. Makes your Heart Melt!!!!!!

The very best of classic country including 'Gentleman' Jim can be found in this group Country from the 50s & 60s The rest doesn't matter since they are clearly confused on what is real country and what isn't.
