If you ask any number of country singers who their
favorite singer is, a large number of them will respond: “Gene
Watson.” Gene has scored over 72 charted songs, including 23 Top
Tens and 6 #1 hits over his forty-year career. It is safe to say
that most knowledgeable country fans would point to Gene Watson
as one of country music’s best ballad singers in the same league
as country icons George Jones, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin and
others who are the standard bearers for honest, traditional country
music. It’s no surprise that such artists as Vince Gill, Lee Ann
Womack, Trace Adkins, Connie Smith, Joe Nichols, Alison Krauss,
and many others are not only happy but eager to record with Gene.
There is also the stunning truth that at age 66, Gene is singing
better than ever, with his clear, pure tone intact and an unmatched
soulful delivery.
