My Notorious Youth: Hillbilly Central #1

Tompall Glaser is the forgotten outlaw. Everyone remembers Willie and Waylon, but Tompall made records every bit as good as theirs, and helped developed the classic 'Outlaw' sound in his infamous Hillbilly Central studio, where the window shutters were always closed and the door was always open. Bear Family now presents his four reissued MGM/Polydor LPs on two CDs (Vol. 2 available as BEA #16520). All of his biggest hits are on these CDs, including Charlie, T For Texas, and of course Put Another Log On The Fire, which was one of the highlights of the classic Wanted: The Outlaws LP. Tompall didn't score as many hits as Waylon 'n' Willie, but the dry insolence in his voice made up the sound that others adopted. CD with 36-page booklet.
