Wissenswertes
According to Billboard Magazine, Jim had 51 Top 10 hits - 19 after his death. One of his posthumous hits, "Blue Side Of Lonesome", had been released as an album cut in 1962. The original version ran well over 3 minutes, so when Mary Reeves and Chet Atkins "overdubbed" it with new background music for re-release as a single, they deleted an entire verse because they feared it would not get airplay on radio stations. The song became a #1 hit in the fall of 1966.

Zitate
[in a 1964 interview] When I was five years old I heard my first phonograph recording. I was in the pasture, with a pet pig of mine, and was startled by the sound of music coming from the house. When I got there, there was this little suitcase-looking concern on the porch, with a crank, and music was coming from it. I couldn't understand how all those people could fit inside that little suitcase.
