Jim Glaser
Jim Glaser was member of his family group Tompall & the Glaser Brothers. As a member of that trio, he also worked with Marty Robbins on several important projects as a session musician, playing guitar and mouth harp and singing backup.
The Glaser brothers opened their own studio in Nashville, which became a locus for the 'outlaw' movement in country music, a favorite hangout for Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, and Billy Joe Shaver.
After the brothers split up to work on their own projects, Jim emerged as a solo artist charting minor hits in 1974 and 1975. The group were brought back together by the illness of their father, and they later had a musical reunion, but split up again professionally in 1982.
That year Jim hit the Top 20 country listings with When You're Not a Lady , and he had similar success a year later with The Man in the Mirror.
Since that time Glaser has continued performing despite not enjoying the best of succcess with his album releases. Me And My Dream, released in 2007, revisits some of his best known songs, plus some new compositions.
