She was also nominated for an Americana award for her production on the Webb Pierce tribute album Caught In The Webb, which featured a cast of many great country stars from several generations including George Jones, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Pam Tillis, Dwight Yoakam, Charley Pride, The Del McCoury Band, Dale Watson and many more (see Forgotten Artist article on Webb Pierce).

		<description>Hey Jody,  that album is one of his mid 70&#039;s albums of re recorded hits.  Tons of them on ebay.

He must have signed thousands of them. In fact he got sued by his neighbor Ray Stevens around that time because the tour buses would constantly be coming to Webb&#039;s house to see it, the pool, and Webb, and that&#039;s where 90% of all those signed albums come from.</description>

		<description>Jody:

I don&#039;t have any info on that particular record, but did find a picture of Webb with the mailbox (the same picture on your cover?) at the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum site.  It&#039;s about halfway down the right column on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hillbillyhits.com/museumtour.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Hi, I am 60 and have an 33 1/3 For Promotional Use Only Album by Webb Pierce called NUMBER ONE HITS. On the cover he is standing by a mailbox that reads Webb Pierce wandering Acres and has a Guitar base to the mailbox. It is in Stereo and signed My Best, Webb Pierce. The Album itself is White and has no name label. NR3690 is on the record center. I cannot find anything on this record, internet, library or nothing. Can anyone help me? Thanks Jody</description>

		<description>While Pierce was no longer the top dog in Country music by 1960, he remained near the top during the early part of the decade and was still having major hits as late as 1967 when &quot;Fool Fool Fool&quot; went to #1 on Record World, #3 on Cashbox and #6 on Billboard.

Pierce didn&#039;t have another Billboard #1 during the 1960s but he had eight top five records, seven that landed between 6-10, another nine that landed in the top 20 and 13 more tht landed somewhere in the top 40. That&#039;s 37 top forty records which is more chart action than many artists have in a whole career 

Although not reflected in the Billboard data,  two of Webb&#039;s records hit #1 on Cashbox or Record World. Cashbox was the top competor to Billboard and was as highly regarded as Billboard during the span of Pierce&#039;s career. A lot of country radio stations kept their own charts, but those that didn&#039;t were as likely to use Cashbox&#039;s charts for their countdown shows as to use 
Billboard&#039;s charts.</description>

		<description>Webb was unquestionably the top country artist (chartwise) of the &#039;50s, but it&#039;s some quirk in methodology that has him listed as No. 7 in the &#039;60s. 

He was out of favor by the &#039;60s and his records did not chart well. Webbe had zero No. 1 hits in the &#039;60s and Merle Haggard must have had more than half a dozen--but that Billboard chart rates Webb higher than Merle for the &#039;60s. Ridiculous.</description>
