Jim Reeves was born July 31 1923 near Galloway, East Texas. Classified 4-F during WWII, he accepted a baseball scholarship at the University of Texas but left after six weeks, working in the Houston Shipyards. Jim began playing semi-professional baseball, then spent 1944-1947 in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system until a nerve injury ended his prospects. His big break in music came while working on The Louisiana Hayride radio show. A scheduled guest failed to appear, and Reeves was asked to fill in.

On July 31 1964 Reeves, a licensed pilot, took off from Batesville Ark. bound for Nashville. Also on board was his manager Dean Manuel. Southwest of Nashville International Airport the plane encountered turbulent weather, went into a tailspin and crashed head on into the ground. Gentleman Jim Reeves was 40.

Hey Internet! My uncle has a live version of Waiting For A Train, probably recorded around 1935 and to me it's at least 10 times better IMHO, he just lets loose. It's on a 78 and I hope to get my grubby paws on it someday 🙂

Doc Watson - The Tennessee Stud





Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Soldies Joy {same album {Will The Circle Be Unbroken}

Really? A live version of Jimmie? That's great, must have been from a radio broadcast or something! (live recording was very rare in the early 30s)

It's not this one is it?



I hope you get the record!!!

Nope! It's live and much better than that one. You'll never find it on Youtube, I've tried lol
