What a great tune... But is it really Country and Western? The ole Boy network in Nashville was experimenting a lot like some of the artist of today... They wanted crossover music to sell records to a larger audience... Competition for the likes of Frank Sinatra and the big band singers...
What genre would the music of Jim Reeves be considered as?
Jim Reeves was instrumental in creating a new style of country music which used violins and lusher background arrangements which soon became known as the Nashville Sound. This new sound was able to cross genres which made Reeves even more popular as a recording artist. Reeves became known as a crooner because of his light yet rich baritone voice.

Oh no doubt about it... It is a classic and I have to admit I have drank a few beers listening to it in times of woe...
Chet Atkins was a driving force behind the 'Nashville Sound'...

I have been listening to songs from these guys after your mention. This is some straight Ohio River Valley coal country shit. A new gem in my playlist. It reminds me of swimming in the old strip coal mines around these parts. I am genuinely surprised I hadn't heard this.I watch memorials and Tributes on Youtube to musicians that have passed and shed tears because there gone... I am still mourning the loss of John Prine... One 14 people that has watched a close to 3 hour funeral service for Leon Russell...

Yep. Have done my share of swimming in those same mines. 42. I would say it's due to music that was listened to in my house growing up. It was country from decades earlier. Trends didn't travel so fast for people of my parents generation in Indiana.Ohio River Valley coal country shit
Yee haw... I have done my fair share of swimming in the strip pits in western Indiana...
I am genuinely surprised I hadn't heard this.
If I may ask you a question... How old are you? Your age may have something to do with not hearing these musical genius's...
