Reeves flexed his crooner skills and his multi-lingual talents with this slow-moving number that helped establish him as a talent on the same level as Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Ray Charlesand others from an era blessed with a deep cross-genre list of great singers.
This early career hit captures the playfulness of past singing cowboys and hillbilly family groups. For another example of Reeves' sense of fun, check out "Blue Boy."
Reeves cut hits at a time when a lot of great songwriters hustled to be discovered in Nashville. Among them was Roger Miller, the jokester behind this light-hearted hit.
Another early single from Reeves is like a honky-tonk piano version of a would-be Marty Robbinshit about a character from South of the Border.
As this list makes clear, Reeves' voice suited country songs as the business replaced steel guitars and close harmonies with string sections and pop-friendly backup singers.
Reeves delivers, as usual, as a love song balladeer. What stands out most is the gentle string accompaniment that makes this one of the most beautiful Nashville studio arrangements of its time.
The best pre-Nashville Sound Reeves recording has got to be this galloping good time that previewed the singer's future as a love song crooner.
For something a little more old-fashioned, here's a song of heartbreak that's more of a Tex-Mex and honky-tonk blend than a crooner classic. Not even Luke the Drifter cried enough to water-log a carpet!
Reeves' masterful performance with this string-driven country ballad demonstrates why he, along with Eddy Arnold and Ray Price, had the right voice at the right crooner-centric time.
While some of these higher-ranking picks seem obvious, this one might be a tad underrated as both a Reeves classic and an all-time great country song about divorce. The lead character asks the same question as another Reeves song title: "Am I That Easy to Forget?"
