@theTrainmanmec .... I agree with you man. No gimmicks, no voice enhancing Mics, etc. Just the guy and his guitar. It is an ALL TIME CLASSIC BAR DRINKIN' PAIN SONG.
Webb's 12 #1 hits still have more weeks at #1 on both the disc jockey and best seller chrarts than anyone in history. Even George Strait. Eddy Arnold has most weeks #1 on the old juke box chart.
he wasn't put in the hall of fame because he didn't get to the Opry every weekend because of touring. He Made more money and exposure on tour. He also upset the establishment by starting a publishing company to publish his own music. He made a lot of enemies in the 1950's. He was in fact the 1950's music wise. Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, and Rockabilly forever and to h**l with the junk since.
@highnrising fuck the hall of fame, most worthless accolade ever invented. with that said, I doubt it's because he was gay, I'd never even heard that before. if anything I'd say it's got a lot more to do with the people in Nashville not knowing shit about country music. I mean, if there's a country music hall of fame without Gram Parsons, then whats even the point?
Webb Pierce would have made a good bluegrass singer. He sang in some high keys-something none of the modern so-called country singers ever do. He sang this in the key of D - most of these new guys would probably have to lower it to about A to sing it. What a disgrace that Elvis and Brenda Lee (who never even claimed to be country singers in their defense) were put in the Hall of Fame before him.
I´m from the USA but with songs like this i can understand that the good country is made by people with balls, the modern country is made by pretty faces, no balls. Of course, there are exceptions
I hate Country music today , and i always thought the whole genre always sucked until i heard this song on a Bob Dylan Documentary. its just like Rock, it used to be awesome: Led zeppelin. and then it got shitty: NIckelback
The original recorded version is better than this one, and I don't have a real favorite among the later ones. Somehow that true oldie has a more genuine country sound, as so often happens when anyone records after the hit. Even Webb couldn't match his first one.
After Hank Sr., Webb was next in line for "King of Country Music in the 50s" He had his own 15 min. radio show at the age of 15. First 3 records went to #1, had 13 #1 hits and 52 top 10 hits and 92 life time hit records. And yet, he wasn't inducted into the C&W Hall of Fame until 2001, ten years after he died.
started working at a steakhouse that plays country music, this is one of the songs that i'm guaranteed to hear at least 3 times before i leave, and it's the only song that i really like on the CD they play. it took me 3 weeks to find out the title and artists. now i can die happy... or sad lol
REAL COUNTRY, GOTTA LOVE IT. This guy is not an Australian (keith urban), not a black (darius rucker), just a good old country boy who was a hell of a singer.
@derrtyjake06 What does it matter what country they're from or what color they are? It's more about what you're talking about in your song and that's why the old country is more meaningful.
@phREaker419 folks from the south have different values and beliefs than the rest of the world. This is why they tried to secede and form their own independent nation. The fact that outsiders have moved in and bastardized the genre just shows how commercialized and crappy today's country is.
@derrtyjake06 You seem to supposedly know much about the 'rest of the world' eh? Let's be honest here, a lot of the crappy country heard these days is coming from our own back yard. A few odd aussies and and europeans in the fray ain't really making much difference in today's goofy country music.
Fans of this music should give a listen to Wayne Hancock. His CD "Tulsa" is an excellent effort. Texas swing and traditional Honky Tonk tunes, very strong lyrics, great vocals, great pedal steel guitar.. only the sound quality and the liner notes would tip you off that it wasn't made in the 50's.
@davyfiore kind of like Ernest Tubb, his voice just has a lot of soul and grittiness which is what this kind of music is all about, not auto-tuned Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, etc.
This is the greatest drinking honky tonk song ever because it shows the absolute horrors of alcholism. A haunting song done by one of the most underrated country music stars... Webb Pierce!
@vinegar55 He's not out of tune, it's the old film and the equipment of the day. A lot of old recordings vary a bit in speed, which makes it sound like that. Webb had a great ear.
@TheWantedOutlaw It is a Gay guitar (Made by a Canadian guitar maker named Gay who lived in Edmonton, Alberta). Webb Pierce, Faron Young, and Carl Smith played these brand of guitars.
You have to see this guy live or at least better video footage to appreciate this, but None can sing like Webb Pierce. Many try to duplicate that song but it is the voice in that tune that brings it to life.
By the time this record was released Webb had established himself as the succesor to Hank Williams, the #1 country artist with everyone else a distant second. This was the second in a string of 9 consecutive #1's.
0:28 - 0:30, I just noticed that Webb batted his eyes! That's one of the reasons why I say Webb Pierce is the heart-throb of classic country music. Thanx fur sharin'! 5 thumbs up!
southernsky48, really? I know alot of people yank each other's chain on the internet sites where people can "talk" to each other. People can say stuff they really ain't, like "TONY DANZA IZ MA UNCLE!" or whatever.
southerngalpride825 u are so right, and i'm glad u've heard some of the greats of what was called then Country & Western Music. we need to go back an revisit those times !!!!!!
@unmoris - no doubt! Country music has become watered down pop-rock with greeting card lyrics. There are still artists making and playing real country, but it's hard to find a radio station that plays it.
There seems to be nothing to this song it is deceptively simple, but when I try to play it song on my guitar and I can never make it sound like anything. Webb Pierce must have really felt this song, because it is one of the great country recordings, one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing it.
I wonder if he battled with the drink to create such a raw ,simply & beautiful song maybe he lives with that inner struggle. The song catcptures his battle which why capturing that feeling is so elusive for you. For so many Each day' that glass" is all that stands between SAniTy & beginning a cycle that leads to so much pain damage destruction Then HURT& REgret. Van Morrison does a spectacular version of this and if you see & hear it he nails it perhaps he lived through that hell too
this song is a reverse cheers for all the alcoholics that know
--this one cylinder can shatter"my"& so many others lives all "I" need to do is take that first sip--
i hope those that have that secret struggle will go try AA they'd be surprised its not a bunch of weirdos just nice normal folks that understand Theyre just like u -opened a phone book found a meeting& went to 1or 4 til they found a group that fit them A single step changes u forever& the sun will shine again on their lives
@MuscleCatClothing Ever hear of Wayne Hancock? He's one of the rare Artist today who still plays Country Music, check him out if you want. Jamey Johnson is another modern artist that retains some of the Country style rather than today's Nashville crap.
Chet Atkins once said that he believed that one day country and pop would become so intertwined that individuals would grow tired of the mediocrity and go back to true country. After listening to this, I now hope he was right more than ever.
I agree. One thing I really can't stand is the fake southern accent so many of today's stars sing with. Even if one speaks with a southern accent, that doesn't necessarily carry over into the singing voice. For example, guys like Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, and women like Patsy Cline didn't put on a fake accent when they sang. Cline is especially a good example - her speaking voice is quite heavily accented, but her singing voice is not. When I hear guys like Kenny Chesney today... ugh.
i totally agree with you...no sense rying to change your voice to sound country..all the older performers knew how to sing...not like the so called performers of today...rather listen to the country classics
I guess it used to be enough to be yourself and have talent and work your butt off.Now...you've got "people" like Britney Spears singing "I love Rock n Roll"......
That's today's music industry for ya......
Specially selected by a few, to annoy sooo many..
Keep looking underground, there's a lot of honest artists still playing good music!!
Check out Hank Williams III, he's as honest as it gets...
Hi ijosef. I'm not from the US but I think that singing with a southern accent is very beautiful as well...I'm not a native speaker of course, but I can tell that in this performance Webb Pierce is singing with a southern accent, and i love it!...maybe some of them thought that if they sang with a standard accent they could reach to more public and have a more successful career, who knows!
.the thing is that nowadays most of the male country singers have the same voice, like if all they come from the same factory., i'm pretty sure that they're exaggerating their accents....
Kick ass song, kick ass music. I sing this song to myself every weekend morning as i have my eye opener. Bring back real country music!!!!!!!! Hank Three, Dale Watson...
Hey dumbass JAMMIN IN THE SKY MEANS SINGIN' IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU ILLETERATE OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Anyways this is real country music My daddy lovews this new shit sound that makes me wanna barf everytime I hear it. Especially trace atkins I swear I almost died of brain damage when I heard his stupid I got My Game on. GOD BLESS TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!!
God, I wish I had a suit like that. Love it, but a little more seriously, he was one of the great, great earlier country artists in America, and to me this is one hell of a real, died in the wool country songs of all time. It just doesn't get much more country than this in my eyes. Marc Trainor
This is the first Pierce song I heard while listening to WWVA radio in Wheeling around 1954/55 late at night while growing up in Toronto. Lost a lot of sleep before getting up for school listening to WWVA.
Another top hit of Webb,s, as most of his songs were Much better than the modern Country, another that I do in Karaoka Bars, & it still goes down well, along with the Beer. Arthur Davis

I guess it used to be enough to be yourself and have talent and work your butt off.Now...you've got "people" like Britney Spears singing "I love Rock n Roll"......
That's today's music industry for ya......
Specially selected by a few, to annoy sooo many..
Keep looking underground, there's a lot of honest artists still playing good music!!
Check out Hank Williams III, he's as honest as it gets...

Hi ijosef. I'm not from the US but I think that singing with a southern accent is very beautiful as well...I'm not a native speaker of course, but I can tell that in this performance Webb Pierce is singing with a southern accent, and i love it!...maybe some of them thought that if they sang with a standard accent they could reach to more public and have a more successful career, who knows!

.the thing is that nowadays most of the male country singers have the same voice, like if all they come from the same factory., i'm pretty sure that they're exaggerating their accents....

How can he be jamming in the sky?
Do you realise that he is dead?
He's been dead for 17 years.
Maybe you think that he's in some kind of a spaceship.

God, I wish I had a suit like that. Love it, but a little more seriously, he was one of the great, great earlier country artists in America, and to me this is one hell of a real, died in the wool country songs of all time. It just doesn't get much more country than this in my eyes. Marc Trainor

This is the first Pierce song I heard while listening to WWVA radio in Wheeling around 1954/55 late at night while growing up in Toronto. Lost a lot of sleep before getting up for school listening to WWVA.

Webb is known as a singer of drinking songs but the funny thing is, this is really the only drinking song he ever recorded--it's that powerful!

His vocals are a little flat here... seems to make the song that much more genuine, though.

Another top hit of Webb,s, as most of his songs were Much better than the modern Country, another that I do in Karaoka Bars, & it still goes down well, along with the Beer. Arthur Davis
