installing glass tile backsplash?

I recently bought a house and would like to install a glass tile back splash in my kitchen. From what I have read, installing this over drywall is not a good idea. Is there a product or board (that is thin) that I could place over the drywall without having to remove the drywall? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
