Girls I Have Known is an album recorded by Jim Reeves and released in 1958 on the RCA Victor label (catalog no. LPM-1576). The album was produced by Chet Atkins. The cover photograph was by Ben Somoroff.[1][2]
On November 17, 1958, it was rated No. 2 on Billboard magazine's "Favorite C&W Albums" based on the magazine's annual poll of country and western disc jockeys.[3]
AllMusic gave the album four stars, and critic Bruce Eder wrote: "Whether it's pop or country, it's all delightful, and of immense importance in the history of country music -- this was one of the very first countrypolitan recordings, utilizing a sophisticated sound that was closer to pop music than to anything previously identified as country music."[2]
