We Thank Thee is an inspirational album Jim Reeves released in 1962. Though it is pleasant -- Reeves' voice is in good shape and the country-pop productions sound nice -- nothing on the album particularly stands out, yet it is a nice record for dedicated Reeves' fans. [The 1996 import compact disc reissue includes four bonus tracks: "An Evening Prayer," "Teach Me How to Pray," "How Long Has It Been," and "The Padre of Old San Antone."]
Remastered reissue, part of RCA's Living Stereo series, for this 1962 gospel album by the late vocalist, plus four classics from 1959 added as bonus tracks: 'How Long Has It Been',...

As the title indicates, The Intimate Jim Reeves emphasizes the ballad stylings of the countrypolitain singer, highlighted by the hit single "I'm Gettin' Better." Like most of Reeves studio albums, it suffers from an uneven selection of material, but his performance is smooth and convincing, as is the stylish production. Together, they make the album an enjoyable listen, even if its appeal is limited to dedicated Reeves fans. The CD reissue includes four bonus tracks, including the hits "I Missed Me" and "Am I Losing You."
