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.
