Drowning on the Third Coast

Type: Paperback

Jim Glaser’s long musical heritage—over 50 years as a professional— gives him a rich and varied background from which to draw material for this book. As members of the Grand Ole Opry for fifteen years, Jim Glaser and his two brothers, Tompall and Chuck, won nearly every group award country music had to offer, including Billboard Magazine’s award for being the Most Awarded Group in Country Music at that time. They toured with Marty Robbins for three years and it’s Jim’s tenor voice you hear on Marty’s classic, “El Paso,” and on many of the Western songs Marty recorded at that time. Jim and his brothers then toured with Johnny Cash, working such venues as New York’s Carnegie Hall and Steel Pier in Atlantic City, NJ.

Glaser’s first solo album, “The Man In The Mirror,” was released in the early 1980s on the independent label, Noble Vision Records, and stayed on Billboard’s Album chart for more than a year and a half. Six top-twenty singles were released from that album, including three top-tens and a number one Billboard’s charts, “You’re Getting To Me Again.”

Jim wrote (with Jimmy Payne) the million-seller, “Woman, Woman,” for Gary Pucket & the Union Gap. Glaser also wrote the Skeeter Davis hit, “What Does It Take,” the Warner Mack hit, “Sittin’ In An All Nite Cafe,” and songs recorded by Hank Snow, Waylon Jennings, Bill Anderson, Connie Smith, etc.

Jim’s fascination with the difficulties of making it in Country Music -- including the intense competition of securing recording contracts, struggling for chart positions, and millions of miles spent on the road -- was Jim’s inspiration for this novel.
