3-part country harmony at its best.

Wow!  Thank you for posting that.  I have never heard of them and they are BRILLIANT.  I wonder if there is any chance of getting their music on MP3 or CD?

Thanks squiggle - you're welcome.

They are available on CD.

I don't know about mp3 (because I don't posses one and I don't understand them).

Unfortunately, that remarkable medley where they do their speciality of picking up from each other in the middle of a line or a word, is not available as far as I know. I hope I am wrong about that.

So pleased you liked them squiggle.

Splendid harmony singing.

I'm watching that first clip again this morning.  I could kick myself for never having known about them.  I love good country music (to go and see it performed live is just amazing, I went to see Don Williams live and could have sat there for a week quite happily just listening to him) AND I am a harmony nut.  I was a member of the Everly Brothers fan club (the only fan club I ever joined) and I love to hear good harmony singing how did I miss Tompall and the Glaser Brothers?   I looked on Amazon and the CD's cost a fortune (like over £100 ) wonder if you can get 'em cheaper elsewhere.  But as you say its seeing them taking over the singing in the middle of a line (or even a word) and just enjoying it so much that is so special.  Thank you again for posting it.

EDIT:  I just managed to pick up a double CD made from 2 LP's, I am promised that the sound is A1 and I am looking forward to receiving it.  I can also download from Tesco, I find Jim Glaser's voice especially amazing.  Incidentally how many of them were there?  They had another clip on UTube where they showed all these Glaser men and I didn't recognise one from your original clip

I hope you will be happy with your CD when you get it squiggle.

Like you, I loved the Everly  brothers.

Tompall and the Glaser Brothers and the Everly brothers have special places in my collection.

I quite liked the Statler brothers, but they always sounded like a "put together" group and lacked a natural feel and sound  for country music.

Yes, I have seen the Glaser being used (or rather MISused) too. Maybe it was meant to be a compliment, but it can be misleading.

There were 3 brothers - Tompall, Chuck and Jim. I think Chuck  had a stroke which affected his vocal chords  and singing in later years.

I do agree with you about Jim voice.  Incidentally Jim used to be a backing singer for Marty Robins and sang backing on his big hit El Paso.

I am thrilled that you like them so much squiggle. Their harmonic "togetherness" is wonderful and the overall effect is a very pleasing sound.

I am on a roll brisket, I have downloaded a lovely album from Tesco of Jim Glaser's songs Me and My Dream.  All the tracks are great, it is in MP3 format but I don't have an MP3 player I store them in that format on my PC, it is very old but it has great speakers and the sound quality is ace.  I have running through my head I'm Sending You A Big Bouquet of Roses but frustratingly I can't find it for sale or download anywhere. 

I love love love that clip of them when they were younger and have bookmarked it.  How they weren't huge huge stars I will never know.

squiggle   - we have a major coincidence   - I too have had "I'm Sending You a Big Bouquet of Roses" in my head all day.   

It's great that you have found a nice Jim Glaser album and that you'll be able to hear it with good sound.

I understand they were very popular and respected in country music circles, but at their height country was quite a specialist thing and hadn't spread into the general stream.

I too adore that clip. I often view it.

Well done squiggle

Thanks for the link squiggle.  Great voice. I love his range.

I just managed also to download a free MP3 of Jim Glaser's Lights of Albuquerque

I'd love to get his album Man in the Mirror but I think its unobtainable even in the States

The fact that we are interested in a specialist market, makes us ....well  "special" I suppose. 

I suppose, but what fascinates (and irritates) me is that I have never heard of them, and I am a great country music fan (and a harmonies fan too as you can tell)  I know that Jim at least was touring over here too, what was I down a coal mine or something?

The Glasers were selected Vocal Group Of The Year at the 1970 Country Music Association Awards.

My dad was a big country and western fan, so I grew up with that sort of music. Just as well I liked it.

Do you think it was influenced by the fact that The Everly Brothers were No. 1 when I was Born?

Squiggle, you might be able to get a copy of Jim Glaser's 'Man in the Mirror' via an auction site.

Listen to this one, it's by their nephews.

I also like 'Put another log on the fire' though that might be because of the lyrics rather than the singers specifically.

I have tried Effie but no luck, I was so lucky to be able to get The Lights of Albuquerque which is brilliant, and I got that for free but I would be thrilled to get Man in the Mirror.

Would this place be any good?

 There's a few on vinyl on Amazon squiggs. $24 in good nick.

I had checked this out, the prices make your hair stand on end and its mostly vinyl. That would not have been a problem once but since I digitised my vinyl collection I have sold on the Vinyl to MP3 turntable.  But thanks for looking though

I can't do vinyl any more   see above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I got rid of my old player that played vinyl, wish i hadnt now . In hindsight it wasnt a good move

I believe you can get USB turntables that let you record your vinyl to CD/DVD. Don't know the price though.

squiggs

ioffer.com - £15 

cd.

'Maria Consuela' is another good harmony.

I'm fond of this too. Funny, tonge-in-cheek.

I think Tompall did this alone without his brothers.

One word velvet AMAZING!  I had never heard of this site, CD on its way to me now thank you

Well done squiggle!  (and thanks velvet)

You're welcome  

This thread was such an eye-opener for me and so I thought I would bump it for brisket so that any who hadn't seen this special clip (which he loved) could see it now and remember him, as I do, with gratitude and love.

Aww thanks for finding this and bumping this, its the first thing i seen when i came on here.

Awwww...

Awwwwww - I enjoyed that - and to think that the Ga Ga gang are sending a big bouquet of roses - how ironic - how lovely!

Oh Soozy I hadn't thought of that, yes it is lovely

I assume that the vid ^^^ that was removed was this :
