# The Intimate Jim Reeves

The Intimate Jim Reeves is an album recorded by Jim Reeves (backed by the Anita Kerr Singers and a string section) and released in 1960 on the RCA Victor label (catalog no. LPM-2216). The album was produced by Chet Atkins and arranged by Marty Gold and Cliff Parman.

In Billboard magazine's annual poll of country and western disc jockeys, it was ranked No. 6 among the "Favorite C&W Albums" of 1960.

In July 1964, the album's fourth track, "I'm Getting Better", reached No. 3 on the Billboard country and western chart.

AllMusic gave the album three-and-a-half stars, and critic Bruce Eder called it: "Superb countrypolitan pop by the man who practically invented the format, near the peak of his powers as a singer."
