Tompall Glaser "Put Another Log On The Fire"

[@yminic55]

I don't eat southern food, don't speak with a southern accent, and Oklahoma was a bad dream, but I love Tompall and this song.

[@benjamineastman9950]

When I first heard this on the radio I KNEW it was written by Shel Silverstein. What a wonderful songwriter, witty, charismatic, and hilarious!

[@TheSFCjaymo]

I still can’t figure out why this song wasn’t voted the best country song ever written!! 😂 😆

[@Acoustic_strings]

Probably after David Allen Coe did "The perfect country and western song" (You never even call me by my name) It was rated second lol

[@sallyspikes8009]

This song should be given every award. Love it, so true.

[@lindadonahue9279]

If you read Tompall's biography, I promise you that you will come to the conclusion that he shoulda been a mega star in country music. No one ever sang a country lyric like him. Tompall and Glaser Studio STARTED the "Outlaw" movement. So, no Tompall, no Waylon either. (I mean "Waylon" as the huge Outlaw star he became) Tompall never got the recognition or credit that he earned for giving us back "hillbilly music". (fiddles, steel guitars, dobros). Hall Of Fame induction is WAY overdue for Tompall and The Glaser Brothers!! Just my 2 cents!

[@MrBlodsven]

Exactly Linda! That Hall of Fame jury must be a younger generation or just a bunch of idiots...

[@lindadonahue9279]

Maybe a little of both, my friend. Or they are just holding a grudge a little too long. Either way, Nashville needs to get over itself and do the right thing!!! Take care, from one #1 fan to the other! :)

[@MrBlodsven]

linda donahue Hi again Linda. If you havn´t heard Tom T Hall "Back when we were young" and "Souveniers" I´m pretty sure you´ll like it. Take care Lady.

[@lindadonahue9279]

Thank you my friend. I've always liked Tom T Hall. He was a fantastic songwriter. I had really not thought of those two songs for years. Thanks for reminding me. Keep on digging for all those great songs. You are awesome!! Take care!

[@geener11]

+linda donahue - I never realized how great Tompall & the Glazer Brothers were -I have bought many of their cd's great harmony-

Ohhhhh LOVE this! Thank you so much for this video. I've never seen it before. Isn't he just the bestest of the best? lol RIP you beautiful man.

[@verimadmagsvmm1549]

Love this song. Especially the image of the pot of bacon and beans unchucked over his head... The song always makes me smile, and hey, what more can you ask!

[@rodriguezahr]

I just discovered this song and I can't agree more. My absolute favorite.

Pity there´s so few clips with The Great Late Tompall Glaser. He was so cool back then. Thx for sharing this one jessi...

[@ryanarmstrongarmstrong1001]

Sure wish Tompall, and Waylon coulda worked their problems out and stayed friends.Who knows what kinda music they coulda made!

[@Themaintrain]

+ryan Armstrong Armstrong Yes, but neither of them wrote this song. This one is by Shel Silverstein who also wrote A Boy Named Sue. I love Ole Waylon a lot & I love the Outlaw album.

[@fayespendley8921]

It don't matter who wrote it , no one could sing it like Tompall!

[@magnehoiberg]

Ryan, i have never got that story, but your wish is mine in that way.

[@11UncleBooker22]

I'm 50 now but remember the old folks in 1975 freak'in out about his 'Changed' look.Just years earlier Tompall was very clean cut.

[@rodriguezahr]

Hi Linda! Hope you are doing well. This is so darn good isn't it?

Bobbi hobson Yes maam, it sure is. He was so adorable back then I just want to put him in my pocket! Doing well, and hope the same is true for you!

[@danalynnejohnson6850]

I remember this song from when I was a kid! I had it on a compilation vinyl record years ago.

[@RayNDeere]

Written by the legendary Shel Silverstein, who also wrote a Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash) and Sylvia's Mother (Dr. Hook)

[@rogerphillips2063]

I just saw the Muppets do this. This song is absurdly funny and parody. No one is really as stupid as the husband singing and we should laugh out loud when hearing this sung.

[@vernareed5534]

The first time I heard this song i laughed so hard,couldn't believe what i was hearing!! The writer must be genious & of course Tompall only one could sing it & do justice!!

[@codywyattbeasley520]

Does anybody know what chords he's playing in this? I see he's capoed on the 2nd fret, first chord looks like a D7, then I can't make out the second one, eventually he moves into what appears to be a C chord, & that's all I can really make out from watching it. It doesn't sound right to me though trying to play those chords back, & I'm wanting to learn to cover this song, but this version is the one in the key that l feel I can best sing in. I've looked up this song online to learn it but so many artists have covered it in so many different keys & I want to make sure I have the right one.

[@rhoadizzle]

G C and D7 are the main chords, with a passing G7 before the switch to C

[@vbsandlady]

Thanks for posting the video. Tompall just disappeared into oblivion. I even wonder if he is still alive.

Put another log on the Fire. Well I was raised to do that. Anyone on Gods earth that doesn't understand how to survive, well, you're on your own. But the jest of this song is about chauvinism. I grew up in that era, know far more than I want to remember about it. Tompall was making a statement in a musical way. Loved Waylon Jennings music, but he & many other musicians have Abused their families. Those scars last.

[@darling_danke_schoen]
