This is my favorite version of Galveston. It’s haunting when slowed down played as a ballad.

Yep! Glen did have his own way of interpreting a song, didn't he. Have you ever heard Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights"? It's nothing like Glen's! But Toussaint didn't seem to mind that much since he pocketed large sums of money as a result of Glen's version.
Here's Toussaint's version followed by my favorite video of Glen's version*:

*Glen's version also had the benefit of that amazing lick by Jerry Reed. Glen said it took him a week to learn it!
