What A Way To Start The Week...
And what do I mean by that? Of course, I'm talking about today's Classic Album Review. It's a classic. Classic can be overused, at times (I'm guilty), but this one really is a classic. From 1960, it's "Gentleman" Jim Reeves and his album "He'll Have To Go". This is a good one! To read my complete review, simply click on Ultimate Twang. It's free, nothing to buy, or anything like that. However, I would love it, if, after reading the review, you'd leave a comment. Thanks!
