Jim Reeves Sings is the debut studio album by Jim Reeves, released in 1955 by Abbott Record Co.
It was the singer's only album released by the Abbott record label.[7]
Back in the days, Reeves sang in a loud "hillbilly" style typical of country and western singers of the era.[8] When Reeves signed with RCA, his new label secured the rights to his "hillbilly-sounding" Abbott masters[7][9] and, to the singer's displeasure, used them for his 1956 album Bimbo.[9] The songs included on both Jim Reeves Sings and Bimbo are "Drinking Tequila",[9] "Where Does a Broken Heart Go", "Mexican Joe", "Mother Went A-Walkin'", and "Penny Candy".[1][10]
In 1982, RCA International released a Europe-only 2-LP compilation of the recordings Reeves' made for the Abbott label. The first volume, titled The Abbott Recordings Volume 1, was practically a repackage of Jim Reeves Sings with several additional tracks. It also had roughly the same cover and stated that its sleeve notes were "a facsimile of those carried on Jim's first and only album release on Abbott Records in 1954."[11]
