Webb Pierce ~ There Stands The Glass ~ 1964 Version

[@lonniebeavers7794]

A hard job well these early country music artist had one . A two hour show three times . Back on the bus or the car . Drive two hundred miles unpack sound check . And here we go again . Cheap motels bad food and little sleep . Boy you better love what your doing . Hats off to the real country legends like Webb Pierce !!

[@2packs4sure]

Webb got the hell off the road in the early 60's and flew to most dates and spent more time managing his business interests mixed with studio work for the rest of his career..

Thanks to Sam Hunt for sampling this masterpiece. If it wasn't for Sam Hunt sampling this masterpiece, I wouldn't even have known it existed. I love old country music. I'm only almost 21.

[@2packs4sure]

Technically he sampled the original 1950s version this was a re-recording done in the early 60's to take advantage of stereo. Sam also sped it up slightly which I never could understand...

[@mrsamzero1]

Well we still have Charlie Pride, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn I bet we could think of a few more. lol

[@2packs4sure]

mrsamzero1 True, when i say back in the day i mean mid 50's.. Ray Price, Webb, Mel, Willie........ Willie's first REAL recording session was in 59' he did some as early as 55'. Mel's first session was for Columbia in 57'. Those guys... Loretta is real close starting in 1960, Charlie came later in late 65' WITH WEBB'S HELP by the way. Dolly did some stuff as early as 59' but really started in 62'.

the 1964 Webb Pierce Era Decca songs are just perfectly done. I have the 8 track and I wore it out. Thank you always for uploading the gems.

[@2packs4sure]

I agree, I've always loved them, one day I hope to find a minty stereo copy of the original issue Webb Pierce Story double album and post it all...

[@CountrybyAudrey]

I miss these old songs, my Dad used to spin them on our record player every Saturday night, sometimes on a Friday night if he got into the brew, lol, then came the ages of the 8-track, so then he had to join "record/tape club" in order to get the music he loved, so he could play it on his truck 8-track player & home version one, the days of REAL Country Music and growing up knowing & singing every song, in fact I remember it being called "Country & Western", now it's "Country Pop" mostly :(

[@bobbyjocowpoke1057]

Dynamite song by ol Webb, R.I.P. Brother.

[@PaulO-gx2bn]

Being a Brit married to a beautiful Texas Lass, I have opened a new door to a fabulous collection of musical delights in traditional country music. This simple song and the impeccable delivery of Webb Pierce chokes me with emotion at the sentiment within the first few bars with emotive lyrics and the picture it paints. So when I grew up with the Beatles I would have traded it any day for this wonderful music. Thank You....Paul O

[@2packs4sure]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@paullevine1813]

don't feel bad i'm 57 and grew up with hippie sisters who loved music of all sorts i learned about all the country greats early on. and took plenty of crap for listening to it , those guys were the real deal, one of the few new people i do love and play alot is Patty Loveless, She is one amazing lady in that old time relm. as a picker i love the stuff she does it's a ton of fun to play and she keeps tradition at the front of her approach. thanks for the responce. take care..

Another great song by Webb! I went to a birthday party Thursday night to a local restaurant with a full bar, I could not believe there was no J.D. black label! No Jim Beam, no Crown Royal except Apple! Finally settled for Jack Daniels Fireball, hehe I had 7 shots, there stood my stack of shot glasses, I was happy again! Left there 4 hours later went to another place, sat at a table with an empty glass sitting there, and someone ordered me a shot of my good old JD! I ordered a tall glass of water....There stands the glass still full, LOL Have a good one!

[@2packs4sure]

Dang Ruth you're tough,,,,,,,,, the last time I had 7 shots I was 40.. I can still do it but I don't want to pay that price the next day so I don't.

[@ruthboykin9873]

2packs4sure Lol no after effects for me! Just came back from lunch had a cup of gumbo loaded Cajun fries split with my daughter, she had tea I had 2 shots w/ side of coke, small tumbler. I never was much of a drinker when I was young, except once when I came home from work and talked to a goose! LOl my son who was 10 at the time had shot it in one wing. I had had a BAD day and downed a pint...didn’t make me sick.

It IS still there. I live in Nashville and drive by Spence a lot during the week. It's a shadow of its former self. It's either condos or offices but the owners haven't kept it up. Sad. Didn't stars stay there when they were in town to record?

[@bonsummers2657]

The original Webb Pierce version from 1953 is so much more soulful and better. But this version here is a more commercial sound,… of the era, 1964 country.

[@miltonmoore5294]

I prefer this version MUCH more. In fact, Webb was singing in such a high, "tinny," hillbillyish key that I can't bear to listen to it. What's wrong with being commercial, or in other words, trying to sell records? As long as it's still country, and actually better produced, performed, and re- corded, to boot! The greatest compliment ever paid to Hank Williams was when Frankie Laine recorded YOUR CHEATIN' HEART and his version was a bigger hit than Hanks!

[@paullevine1813]

It's funny that while the Beatles were taking all the headlines back then these country icons were playing the best country music in the world. and were just as pioneering as any rock group, Shame that todays country cept a few has fallen by the way side.and isn't even the shadow of this kind of true american country.. sad indeed

[@2packs4sure]

Yes it does,, I wish there was a way to confirm it.

[@jacquescouteau6982]

Anybody else notice that he switched the lyrics in the 2nd verse? 1953 version (and every cover I know of) says "...that will hide all my tears, that will drown all my fears." This version switches "tears" and "fears." Assume this was an accident, since the original makes more sense logically and emotionally. Who am I to nitpick Web Pierce though? One of the all-time greats.

[@2packs4sure]

I've heard them both hundreds of times,, this version more than the original, actually, and NEVER noticed that ! Good catch!

[@mathewfines8727]

I wonder if big Jim Webb is playing steel guitar on this recording. Big Jim was a heck of a great guy, who eventually took the job of bus driver for Loretta Lynn, for many years.

[@2packs4sure]

I'd love to know for sure who's on steel here,, I'd love to see detailed session info. on Webb's post 1962 stuff but it's never turned up. Having said that,,, Pete Drake played steel on the majority of Webb's early 60's stuff though this doesn't have the old Pete Drake tuning that's so easy to identify. This was also about the time Pete Drake went away from that tuning forever so who knows... If you don't know what I'm talking about this is the Pete Drake steel sound that started Pete's career ~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4q8Xpukas-KrNk

Cash, and Charley Pride. Very interesting. Thanks. Can you post Webb on "Sands of Gold"?

Webb's voice was pitced too high in the original version. And the fiddles sounded sour, out of tune, hill- billyish, and were perhaps not very good instruments played by bad fiddlers. I can live without the fiddles. If they insist on them, I can handle just one, and it's far better to just employ a good violinist with a top-notch violin! But no com- plaints here. I like these re-records Webb did. Everyone else who did re-records... well, they sucked!!!

[@2packs4sure]

Some other re-record packages were good, great even. Ernest Tubb did one in 59' ~ GREAT. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enuyYpqVmJ2Ebtk Kitty Wells did one in 63' ~ Very Good. Carl Smith did one in 70' ~Excellent, kind of jazzy even on some cuts. The original There Stands The Glass is not everybody's cup of tea but I love it.
