Gene Watson is the most underrated singer in country music history. Simply awesome!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Saw him live in July '22...at age 78, he is still smooth and amazing and doing songs in the SAME keys as always!
Amen
No one can project pure angst ni a song like Gene Watson!
Love this song. Written by one of my all time favourites, Marty Robbins. I've only ever heard his version and Elvis' before.
He is still doing it at nearly 80 yrs old. I believe he late 60’s to 70 here and DANG not many young “country” singers can hold a candle to him
Great reaction, yes, that's a REAL country song. Listen to it again, in the song his dad blamed him for the death of his wife (singer's mom). Gene does a great job with this song but I first heard it by Marty Robbins, listen to his version also, and please react to something by Marty if you don't know his music, also you could react to Johnny Horton "North to Alaska", "Battle of New Orleans", "Sink the Bismark", or "Whispering Pines". Thanks again.
Also, Frankie Lane made this popular in the early 1970's......
The song was writing by Marty Robbins who has a great version of the song. You should check out " when a man can't get a women off his mind" by Gene Watson, great song.
Bill Runzi I always thought it was Johnny bush but Your right and now I know.
Gene Watson is certainly a professional. He always sings his songs the same way every time.
Love Gene Watson, highly underrated. I have a request for a reaction. Ashton Sheperd Old Memory... it's another one of those country songs that hits you with the lyrics.
This guy is Absolutely the best singer in the world,bedroom ballad,Is the best
WOW! Gene Watson sings this song with chilling fervor, just the way it should be, So Great!
Written by Marty back in the 60's. He recorded along with others like Frankie Liane, Johnny Bush, Elvis and many others. You should check out some of Johnny Bush's music what a powerful voice before he had voice issues for may years. He had to relearn how to sing again. Gene is a power house, him and Johnny Bush rocked Texas.
Love Gene. One of my favorites. Definitely a good rating.
I have to say. Nobody did this like Marty Robbins.
I heard Marty Robbins and Frankie lane and Elvis sing this song also. But this is the best version ..He has and always had the best voice in country music .Some have credited George Jones or Vern Gosdin with the best vocals .infact.vern was dubbed the voice. .But Memories to burn .is awesome . And your sitting on a gold mine. Is top shelf music .most of his songs have a double meaning. .This is part of his trademark. And I love take off them shoes you ain't walking out the door. .And everybody needs a hero .and winos prayer .and one song has the best line of any song - it is sitting at a red light waiting for my life to change. The song is I catch myself ..But some songs are so funny but you dont catch it because his voice is so great .it takes I mins to sink in. He once said oh I'm just an auto body guy who likes to sing a song now and then. He and his brother own a very good auto body shop in Houston .I bet he don't fix cars anymore .But as great as he is he only had one # one hit .and it was 14 carat mind .. and 10 songs that were in the top 10 .
Marty Robbins wrote "You Gave Me a Mountain." (I don't like Elvis - but he recorded it as well.) This song was on the Gene Watson's 4th LP titled "Paper Rosie," his only hit for that album, released in 1977.
Gene Watson is a icon of country music. I was thrilled to finally get to meet 2 months ago. This is a great song. It was written and recorded my Marty Robbins. Frankie Lane and Elvis also recorded it.
@Gary Guinn So cool that you got to meet him. I remember that I had many chances to see the Grateful Dead, for instance, but I never went. And now I regret it. That's partly what gets me off my couch and out to the concerts, is that weeks later I'll wish I'd made the effort. And seeing Gene is a moment you'll remember.
I got to see Gene Watson in concert this year. I was amazed at what a nice guy he is. He is my ex husband's favorite artist, and I understand why.
As stated here...so under appreciated. Gene could sing the phone book! Thanks Don.
@Texas Magnolia And you would've bought the album!! LOL!!
thank you so much yes you done him good love ya
I felt it. But when Marty Robbins sings it I feel it deep! I f there is ANYBODY other than Marty who I would want to hear sing this one, it would be Gene.
Hi Don, Elvis also performed this song live, I think Gene topped it but my wife and sister couldn't come to grips with that idea, 😆...great review...
I really enjoy the love you're showing for this under appreciated artist. I think this is my favorite GW song. I can definitely hear a similar tone between Gene and my brother in this song. (I've mentioned before that Gene is his uncle.) 💖💖💖💖
@KnitsWithHorses You are royalty around here!! You know that, right? ;-)
@@RockN2Country Well I guess I'm the queen of my little 5 acre homestead at least. 😂😂😂 I do sure love the real deal country music and appreciate what you do so much. 😊
i love this song
One of his best vocals and a song that is so funny but not easy to catch the funny part by getting lost in the perfect vocals is .- when we were down to nothing - nothing sure looked good on you ..So many great. Songs by Gene Watson .I almost forgot - looking for a place to turn around. .very good song .
A real tear jerker.
As others have already commented, this song was written by Marty Robbins. It's partially-autobiographical. For example, Marty Robbins mother did NOT die giving him birth, however it's my understanding his father was difficult. Robbins wife stayed with him all his life, however they did have problems. I'd advise listening to Robbins' version, but take it only semi-seriously.
On the other side of the coin please do
Marty Robins, My Woman my woman My Wife.!!
Gene Watson: "The singer's singer".
I love the way Elvis sings this. Listen to that sometime. You want be disappointed.
Another amazing song. Thanks for your take on it, Don.
@Chuck Turner You're welcome, Chuck--you're welcome!!
Thank you so much for your review on my suggestion on this masterpiece. I am just now seeing it. I thought I would get a "heads up" when you did review it. I was happy to see the song evoked emotions from your own life and the lives of your friends. In my email to you, I stated that you could feel the pain. I was correct in that statement. You are the best and Bless your Heart. Linda p.s. I also gave Elvis credit for his version which is also great.
Thanks Don woohoo 9.5 for a song we can all relative to.Done by a great artist, who has been so underrated.
Oh I love this song!!! It is so heartbreaking and so many can relate. This is how I felt after my husband died, then again when my 30 yr old daughter who had never done drugs lost her mind and took meth n got hooked, arrested and lost her babies. Elvis covered this.
Gives me the chills every time I hear it.
There's Minnie Pearl's hat!! You should react to her comedy routines at the Grand Ole Opera (or as we pronounce it, Oprey)
he was married at 17 and his wife was 15 and he's still married today
Hey Don,
Such a powerful song from such an often underated performer! Always enjoy his music. However don't think I'd ever heard this one before.
Thanks again for another great job. A 9.5 is definitely due here. Keep em coming brother!!
@Lone Wolf 63 Thank you for the good and kind words!!
Just seen him last night at the Opry
@Shirley Nahhas You are the leader in the clubhouse by virtue of having seen Gene at the Opry, of all places!!
he is happy.ly to his wife for 50 some yrs but his daughter just died a couple months ago she was 53.
This is a really good song Marty Robbins wrote this song he wrote it in 1968. I love Marty Robbins version of this song it is amazing.
Written by Marty Robbins in the 1960's. First released 1969.
Check out the original Mr. Marty Robbins
Keep in mind he’s over sixty years old and still belting it out like that.
I like Gene Watson's version of this song way better than the original version done by Frankie Lane.....Gene Watson just kills this!!!!
Love Gene! I see T. Graham Brown in that group. Have you rated him so far, another one of my favorites!
@Joni Johnson I recorded the reaction today, will be up in a week or two. :-)
@@RockN2Country Awesome! Thank you!
Not an old-school Opry fan...never saw the stage set up this way before: throwing the singer in the middle of a bunch of legends and stars. Looks like a Roman gladiator setup! I was waiting for Roy Clark to either give him the thumbs up or down.
No problem for Watson because he clearly gets the the thumbs up. (Ya - no questions.) But, man, you better bring it if you step on this stage! I wonder how many legends shat the bed in that moment...
This is actually from the RFD tv network. Bill Anderson hosts the show and there is always a group of stars as you see here, sitting and reflecting on the music and times they have endured as professionals in the country music industry, especially in times when it was not a very lucrative business and their talents unappreciated. The name of the show is Country’s Family Reunion. If you like traditional country music, you might want to check it out or google it to get a better description of the show.
@@ednacarelock7471 Thanks for the correction! I'll definitely check it out.
And please do a reaction for the song
"Concrete angel" by Martina McBride
This is Marty robins song he wrote it elvis sung it
Marty wrote a 10 and Gene's delivery 11
GW belongs in the Country Music HoF!!
If you don't do Marty Robbins' version of this song (since he wrote it), then do If There's Still Another Mountain by Marty Robbins.
9.5
Don I would really enjoy hearing some reactions to more women like Senora Mae - Lainhart or Sarah Beth Terry- Mountains to Climb.
Also there's a new artist out Morgan Wade- The Night..awesomeness
@Marlene Mckinney I just added the suggestions to my list, so please be patient with me since my list is kinda long. Thanks for the recs, and welcome aboard the channel!!
@@RockN2Country thanks can't wait till you listen to these songwriters, all three women write their own music and two of them are from my hometown. Very proud of them and Tyler Childers. Proud he calls Irvine Ky his home. I am definitely KY PROUD!!😁
Georgia Peach
he didn't go through all of those struggles
Elvis’s version hits harder…although I like this version as well.
The mother died giving birth to her son. The father blamed the son for the death of his wife. The son had to live unjustly with that blame. That was the first mountain that he had to climb.
KEEP IN MIND GENE IS PUSHING 80 YEARS OLD
Marty Robbins song
Please do a reaction for the song
