WATCH THE NEW GENE WATSON & RHONDA VINCENT VIDEO HERE!
Gene Watson's new CD "A TASTE OF THE TRUTH" is destined to be a timeless classic, featuring duets with Trace Adkins , Rhonda Vincent and harmonies from Alison Krauss. This gem of an album is a traditional country work of art seamlessly produced by Dirk Johnson. In his forty year career, Gene has scored over 70 charted songs, including 23 Top Tens and 6 number 1 hits. It is safe to say that most knowledgeable country fans would point to Gene Watson as one of country music's best 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.
"I think I'm working harder on each album to perfect what I do and still always working to be better," Gene notes. "I don't want anything to be so technically slick that we lose the emotion or the electricity of the moment. Each song is very personal to me and I always want the people listening to feel the emotion. Each song has a special meaning to me or I wouldn't record it."
"What can you say about the most burnished and sensitive male voice on the planet except 'Listen'?" ----CMT
"Like a well-aged whiskey, Gene Watson has gained smoothness yet maintained his visceral bite. He's never sounded better which is saying something ." ---- Associated Press
"One of country's finest, and most underrated singers."
----USA Today
"Gene Watson has the pipes to deliver a subtle honky tonk lament. Never a pretty boy crooner, his voice, his voice still has a chipped metallic edge as hard as the cars he used to work on." ---- Ken Tucker NPR's Fresh Air Radio show

Known as "A Singer's Singer", just read what the other country singers have to say about Gene Watson:
Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn:As a singer in a beer joint band, I survived many late night Texas & Oklahoma honky tonks by hosing the rowdies down with a late night Gene Watson song.
He's one of the all time, great classic country singers. 'Got no reason now for going home' has a permanent place on my play list.
To this day he is known as a singer's singer in Nashville. Gene is a special artist. The trail that he forged made it possible for a lot of us to be where we are today'.
George Jones:"Gene Watson is one of my all-time favorite ballad singers...the way he
belts out a ballad, it just doesn't get any better than that."
Chris Hillman ( The Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros., Desert Rose Band): “Gene Watson’s voice is right up there in the major leagues with George Jones, Vern Godsin and Lefty Frizzell for pure country Soul. “Gene’s recording of ‘Farewell Party’ is a roadmap for all aspiring singers.”
Lee Ann Womack : "In my dad's eyes, I hadn't really made it in the music business until now. I've sung with Gene Watson."

Went to see Gene at the MO state fair this year but it was an outdoor concert and was rained out, not a total washout though, I still had the honor of shaking his hand.
Gene, I just watched the new video on GAC, man I gotta tell ya It's the only real Country Music video I've seen in well over a decade,GREAT JOB.
