Summary: Awful, just awful 2000-02-01
Comment: This is the soundtrack from Jim Reeves' "Kimberly Jim" movie, which was popular in South Africa and almost unknown elsewhere. The movie was average at best, and the same can be said for almost all the songs on this soundtrack CD. It's one of the worst selections of songs ever released by the legendary singer, and the whole album has a depressing feel to it. The songs all resemble the poorest songs from the Elvis movies of the same era. Finding a few good songs is almost a chore. "Roving Gambler" is a fairly good song and good performance by Jim, and "Could I Be Falling in Love" is pretty good, too, but by and large, all the other songs are forgettable. It's not worth the purchase to anyone but those who own everything else by the singer and want to complete their collection with bottom-of-the barrel material. His other CD releases present much better songs and performances.

Summary: a real rare find 1999-08-28
Comment: i have been searching this title on cd for many years. as this is a south african film, one would think that the soundtrack would be available here in south africa unfortunately it is not. on the south african version of the soundtrack on lp the title "om en om die braaivleis vuur" appears but not on this cd version. i was quite suprised to find the titlle "boom chick polka". it was one of two titles recorded in the afrikaans language, however it remains a good buy for all those jim reeves fans out there.
