What Happened to Jim Glaser – The Forgotten Brother of Opry’s Glaser Trio

In the 1970s, the Glaser Brothers helped ignite country music’s Outlaw revolution—a movement that gave artists like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson the freedom to create music on their own terms. The world remembers Tompall Glaser, the fiery frontman, but too often it forgets Jim Glaser—the youngest brother with the golden tenor voice that shaped their legendary harmony.

Jim’s story is one of paradox: a man who sang on hits by Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Bobby Bare, wrote classics like “Streets of Baltimore,” and helped build Hillbilly Central, the studio that became the heart of the Outlaw movement. Yet, when he finally achieved solo success with the #1 hit “You’re Gettin’ to Me Again” in 1984, he was crowned Best New Male Vocalist—an ironic honor for a veteran with over 20 years in the business.

So why did a voice so pure, so vital to country music history, fade into obscurity? This video uncovers the untold story of Jim Glaser—his triumphs, his struggles, and his legacy as one of the quiet giants of American music.
