| Gene Watson Isn't
Ready for a Farewell Party Just Yet |
| |
 As
summer comes to a close, country
music star Gene Watson begins gearing up
for his national fall tour. The legendary
performer is heading out on the road to
bring his unique brand of country to his
legions of fans.
Watson’s career began in 1974, when
Capitol Records picked up distribution
rights for his song, “Love in the
Hot Afternoon.” This hit song kicked
off a career that has lasted for over 50
years. Having never intended to pursue
music, Watson often refers to his
consistent success in the music industry
as “an accidental career.”
“I’ve been at the top and
I’ve been just as low as you can
go.” Says Watson, “All that in
between in my many years in this business
has made me appreciate the fans all the
more. Those are the folks who come out to
hear the music and make it possible for
singers like me to continue making the
kind of country music we love – real
country!”
Watson’s career comprises six No. 1
hit singles, 23 Top 10 hit singles, and
more than 75 charted singles. Known as
“the singer’s singer,”
Watson continue s to tour extensively,
and his voice only gets better with the
years. His rich voice conveys the deep
musical history of both his music and the
genre he represents, and even today, he
still boasts a multi-octave range, a
voice he most recently highlighted in the
album My Heroes Have Always Been Country.
The 2014 release comprises 11 covers of
songs that Watson calls some of his
favorite country songs, including
“Here Comes My Baby Again,”
“Count Me Out” and the Merle
Haggard classic, “It’s Not Love
(But It’s Not Bad).”
