Chuck Glaser

Chuck, along with his brothers Tompall and Jim, were true Outlaws, which by definition, operate outside the system. Tompall & The Glaser Brothers were true Outlaws within country music. Breaking from the polished “Nashville Sound,” they blended rock and folk rhythms with traditional country instrumentation, expanding the genre at a time when it risked becoming too conservative. Their honors included CMA Vocal Group of the Year (1970), Billboard and Record World’s Country Group of the Decade (1975), Billboard’s Country Music Group of the Year (1972), and BMI’s #1 Song Award (1968–1969). Between 1965 and 1972, they also earned 32 BMI achievement awards and later received Billboard’s Artist Resurgence Award (1982).
Internationally recognized, The Glaser Brothers were named Billboard’s International Group of the Year for five consecutive years, underscoring their worldwide impact.
The group took a hiatus from 1973 to 1978. In 1979, they reunited and released several singles and two albums, including Loving Her Was Easier, which climbed to #2 on the Billboard charts. Chuck also gained recognition as a songwriter and artist - his “Music Ain’t a Bad Life” was featured in Better Call Saul, while “All Alone With the Blues” appeared in Dr. Death.
From their groundbreaking harmonies to their enduring influence, The Glaser Brothers left a legacy that reshaped country music and carried it to audiences around the globe.
