		Webb's weakness for gaudy ornaments of his wealth, as well as his reluctance to break away from hardcore honky tonk, meant that he had neither supporters in the industry, nor the ability to sustain the ever-changing tastes of a popular audience.
		Webb signed under his own name, while his wife was signed for duets with her husband under the name Betty Jane and Her Boyfriends.
		At the same time, Pierce was growing tired of being confined to the Grand Ole Opry -- he thought he wasn't being treated with the respect a star of his stature deserved, and he wanted to be able to partake in the lucrative financial rewards that came with touring.

		Born Webb Michael (or Mike) Pierce in West Monroe, Louisiana, five years earlier than his publicists generally claimed, he grew up with the music of Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, western swing bands of Texas and Oklahoma, and the Cajun bands of his native state.
		By then, Webb Pierce was better known for his Curtiswood Lane home and its guitar-shaped swimming pool—a regular stop on bus tours of Nashville--than for new hit records, but soon peace-loving neighbors went to court and took even that away from him.
		In 1982 Willie Nelson asked Pierce to sing with him on a remake of “In the Jailhouse Now.” It was Pierce’s ninety-sixth and last charted record, although young traditionalist Ricky Skaggs revived two of Pierce’s hits in that decade: “I Don't Care” (1982) and “I'm Tired” (1987).

		Webb Pierce certainly wasn’t the first to sing a country song but he was a man of firsts.
		It was called "Webb Pierce with Betty Jane, the Singing Sweetheart." He also played gigs around the area and was getting pretty well known.
		Yes, the honky tonk era is now long past but Webb Pierce’s music lives on as does the indelible mark he made on Nashville, country music in general and on every picker and singer who has come after him.

		Webb Pierce's double aught twang was a bit much for a lot of people, especially "countrypolitan" record producers like Chet Atkins.
		Pierce starts most of his songs "dry" - that is, he strums a chord on his gee-tar, starts singing and the band ultimately joins in.
		Webb grows increasingly comfortable on camera as time goes by -- he starts out in '54 looking stiff as a board; within a couple of years he's learned how to smile and even sway a bit while he twinkles at the camera.

	Willie Nelson/Webb Pierce: In the Jailhouse Now
		Webb Pierce was one of the most successful country artists of all times.
		The career of this "ultimate honky-tonk singer" peaked in the 1950's and early '60's, when Webb Pierce was extremely popular among C&W fans, racking up more number one hits than similar artists like Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold, Lefty Frizzell, and Ernest Tubb.
		Pierce -- with his lavish, flamboyant Nudie suits -- became the most recognizable face of country music, as well as all of its excesses; after all, he boasted about his pair of convertibles lined with silver dollars and his guitar-shaped swimming pool.

	Webb Pierce Fan Page Intro (Slipcue.com Country Music Guide)
		In fact, Webb Pierce's incredible dorkiness is the other thing which attracts me to him.
		The way some folks tell it, Webb could be kind of a jerk -- he shamelessly exploited songwriters, insisting on writing credits in exchange for optioning a song, and he would rush out competing versions of hot new singles when other singers had beat him to the punch.
		Like other old-time Decca stars such as Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce was dumped by MCA in the early 1970s, as the label shifted gears towards a more modern sensibility.

		At the age of 15, he was hired as a singer by Monroe's KMLB.

		After an incredible run of country hits through most of the '50s and early '60s, honky-tonker Webb Pierce began to slowly lose favor with the buying public.
		Better known in ways for his taste in one-of-a-kind swimming pools and convertibles, Pierce was still in his musical prime when this 1959 collection of classic honky tonk songs was taped.
		is a rare gem from the days before Pierce and his honky tonk kind were squeezed out by crossover country's arrival on the scene.

	Country Standard Time: Webb Pierce tribute album, January 2002
		If that's your reaction (and it probably should be by now) to hearing about a tribute to honky-tonk legend Webb Pierce, you can let out a sigh of relief.
		To me, what distinguishes Webb is that his vocal style is a bit anachronistic, conjuring an era before ultrasensitive mikes and emotionally intimate singers.
		She mentioned on the air that she would love to do a tribute album to Pierce, and the next day had an email from his daughter expressing enthusiasm for the project.

		Almost certainly the most popular figure of the post-Hank Williams honky-tonk era, Webb Pierce has long deserved a tribute album of this sort.
		And, were it not for the fact that Pierce had made a number of powerful enemies in Nashville during his long career, it probably would have happened long ago.
		But though Pierce's hits continued into the early '70s, the best numbers here tend to date from his peak years of the 1950s.

		This CD collects over a dozen tracks chery-picked from Webb's two Golden Hits LPs, from 1976 and '77, albums that were filled with peppy stereo remakes of honkytonk hits Pierce originally recorded in the '50s and early '60s.

		There aren't many Webb Pierce compilations on the market, but "20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection" isn't necessarily a solution to the problem.
		Of its 12 tracks, 11 are already featured on the more thorough "King of the Honky-Tonk: From the Original Decca Masters" (the exception is the number one hit "Love, Love, Love," which for some reason was left off the previous compilation).
		If you'd rather pay a little less money for a Webb Pierce best-of, "The Millennium Collection" certainly isn't bad -- all of the songs featured were huge hits.

		He was king of the jukeboxes in the 1950's and country's biggest hit maker that decade but slipped hard in the smoother "Nashville sound" era of the 1960's although he was still an active artist well into the late 70's.
		This release was apparently produced for video release in 1990 a few years before Webb passed away and he introduces every song with recent commentary.

		All of these adverse circumstances are expressed through Pierce’s soulfully weary voice.
		The hurt palpable in the bare bones arrangement of “Back Street Affair,” but “Honky Tonk Song” has an undeniable musical pop to it, and “I Ain’t Never” is heightened by a gospel quartet backing, giving this sampling more musical variety than you might have expected.
		Pierce is still looked up to as a country music icon today by musicians in the know, because he knew how to sing the honky tonk style straight and pure; all of which is on display here.
