There Was Jim, Now There Is Gentleman "Daniel"

"I do not for one minute wish to detract from Gentleman Jim Reeves and his velvet voice, because I like his music, too. I perk up every time I happen to hear his rich, one-of-a-kind, easy-listening voice.



But now there is "Daniel" with an easy-listening, velvet-voiced style all his own, which I cannot hear enough of. His renditions of Jim's songs are done with his own intonations, clarity, and timing which just flow with my own musical sense and feelings. I even enjoy the sad songs. There are the beautiful love songs, too, like I LOVE YOU BECAUSE, MOONLIGHT AND ROSES, AND YOU'RE THE ONLY GOOD THING.



If I could pick two special songs, they would be AM I LOSING YOU and HOW CAN I WRITE ON PAPER, perhaps because they are new to me, and Daniel does them so unforgettably.



This album is a very desirable addition to my collection, but then I feel that way about all of Daniel's music. I think Jim would be pleased and honored that Daniel, a super-star in his own right, remembered him with this tribute to his music. I might add that the CD cover pictures of Daniel are a special treat for his fans, and the short biographical story about Jim is interesting and very appropriate.

He's not Jim Reeves, but....

"if you have never heard Jim Reeves you will enjoy every selection. However, my favorite singer was Jim Reeves. I cannot fault Daniel O'Donnell for doing his songs, but Jim sang them with a trademark that I cannot ever forget. My wife notices this also, but Daniel has become our favorite singer as of late, and we are both senior citizens that enjoy great music. So we have to give him five stars as he is smooth and more of a tenor where Jim Reeves was a smooth baritone. To make this story short, for one who likes the country ballads, nobody today can sing them any better than Daniel. Just sit back and enjoy. You cannot go wrong with anything by Daniel O'Donnell."

A Great Tribute to The Late Jim Reeves

"As always, Daniel has done a greatjob on this album.Also has done justice to the late Jim Reeves as many of Jim's best songs are recorded on here." He'll Have To Go", "Anna Marie", Am I Loosing You" and many more. Twenty -three songs to enjoy by this Irish singer who has made it big in Ireland , England and Australia and is now making his mark in North America.If you have never heard this man sing , you are in for a treat to hear his version of the old country songs as well as some new ones.
I only discovered his music a couple of years ago and I was hooked on it instantly."
