Well, I kinda messed this one up. After setting up this post, I find that my copy of Webb Pierce's "There Stands The Glass" was an WMA file and not MP3. "The Box" can't handle WMA. But I guess that's not such a big deal: Webb's version was #1 on the country charts in 1953 so I think all you folks have heard it a million times before.
So instead, we have a bunch of more contemporary versions. I reckon that the oldest would be The Country Rockers' inspired amateurism from about 1990. The Hickoids (from Austin, Texas) bring us the cow-punk version. David Ball is a contemporary singer who trys for that "old timey" sound. And Jan Vardoen brings his version all the way from Norway.
Plus we have a YouTube video showing that the song is still mighty popular with the trendy set just like it was back in '53.
