WEBB PIERCE: ARTISTS TRIBUTE ALBUM IN STORES NOW (Undated-AP) -- The late Webb Pierce is about to become known to a whole new generation, for more than his guitar-shaped swimming pool. The country crooner from the early 50's is paid tribute by a new album in stores now, "Caught in the Webb--A Tribute to the Legendary Webb Pierce." Singer Gail Davies produced the tribute to Pierce and his music, with 21 tracks done by Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, George Jones, and others. Pierce is probably best known for the song, "In the Jailhouse Now." The Los Angeles Times quotes Davies as saying proceeds from the album will go to the Minnie Pearl Cancer Research Foundation and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
