Glen Glenn

Pick 'em Up And Lay 'em Down Glen Glenn

Glen Glenn and Gary Lambert had to wait until the 1980s for the new generation of fans to pay homage to them and ecstatically dance to their three Era label releases issued under Glen's name, and it is these recordings on which their reputation is firmly cemented. In the year 2018 Bear Family Records offer, twelve recordings, with many significantly different versions to the issued recordings. The booklet style sleeve contains the 110 gram vinyl, 10 inch album, and the sleeve is adorned with photographs and fascinating information from scribe Deke Dickerson. To give you a taste of some of the recordings and what to expect. The story beings in 1955, with the earliest recording which Glen made with his long time musical partner Gary Lambert, who sadly passed away on January 12, 2018. The Glen and Gary sessions include a recording from Glen's cousin Porter Wagoner, Company's Comin', and we decided upon the lesser heard take two of It Rains Rain which was recorded with the core of Wynn Stewart's band in 1956. Certainly they were still in the country side of music, however they had a changing sound in development. Rose Maddox had gone solo and her brothers Henry and Fred took Glen under their wing and from this association two country recordings from 1957 are offered You're Not Mine and Ray Price's I Made A Mistake And I'm Sorry. This musical association resulted in Glen changing his style and immersing himself into rockabilly music, which our next recording perfectly testify. Mark Armstrongread more on: bear-family. Com
