    Gene Watson is a legend it seems. I didn't expect for his voice to be that good.
    Thank you for hanging out with me for my first time hearing about Gene Watson.

    Gene Watson is one of the most under rated singers in Country Music! You will have to try his 14 Karat mind! One of his best!

      Great tune. My band still plays that song every now and then. We play mostly classic rock and blues, but we'll still play some of the classic country tunes from the 80's and earlier. Gene's song Speak Softly is another one we play.

    My wife’s cousin died with dementia during covid. He was cremated and his ashes were buried next to his wife 8 months later. At the graveside, we all complied with his request. His adult children asked that everyone grab a Lone Star beer from a cooler beside his headstone. We all toasted Jimmy’s life as this song played.

    A fellow Texan, Gene was born about 35 miles from me. Going to see him perform Dec. 14 in Tyler, TX. He's still going strong at 80! Can still hit that note just as good now as ever!!!

  • @jackielittle4498
    @jackielittle4498 8 місяців тому +5

    Gene Watson celebrates 60 years in the business. He can certainly hit all the notes. You really need to listen to his You Gave Me a Mountain and also When a Man Can’t Get a Woman Off His Mind

    @BOOMNERD51 8 місяців тому +4

    Thanks, Sebs, for bringing my attention to an old school country weeper. I never heard him sing this great crying in your beer song. By the way I loved beer and country but stopped drinking for health and well being. Hearing Gene belt that out beets any beer buzz. So glad music is my intoxicant! ❤😊

    One of my favorite, albeit sad, poignant songs by Gene Watson is "One-sided Conversations(with a narrow-minded wall)". Gene has such a unique voice and is one of my favorite Country singers!

    I grew up hearing Gene Watson on country radio stations. When I was little, I just loved to hear him sing Paper Rosie. If that song was playing on the radio when my dad arrived at the store in his pickup, he would leave the truck running until the song was over, so I listen to the whole thing before we went into the store.

  • @Almaintx
    @Almaintx 8 місяців тому +1

    I’m going to see him live in January. He is 80 and still touring! One of country music’s least recognized singers. He’s called a country music singers singer. His rabbit hole is deep!

  • @hog7203

    Gene can sing. Love his voice. Glad you're getting exposure to artists like this. The pedal steel is an interesting instrument. Hard as hell to play. I can play slide guitar and dobro, but not the steel. Always thought they were similar until I tried it. With the pedal steel, not only do you use a slide to get the sounds, you have foot pedals, knee levers and a volume pedal that you have to work. And some steels have two fretboards/necks tuned to different tunings. My cousin (RIP) played one and was really good. I had another friend, Cal Freeman (RIP) who played the steel for many different artists, starting back in the late 50's. He's actually on an episode of Hee Haw, performing with Roy Clark and Gatemouth Brown. They play the instrumental Take the A Train. The video is on UA-cam.
