If you ask any number of country singers who their favorite singer is, a large number of them will respond: Gene Watson. Gene Watson has 34 studio albums, scored over 72 charted songs, including 23 Top Tens and 11 1 country and gospel hits over his Sixty-year career. Each song is very personal to me and I always want the people listening to feel the emotion.

Indeed Gene records the old-school way, live in the studio with a set of great musicians, and often singing literally in the same room as the musicians, eschewing the isolation booths normally used by vocalists. That makes my job easier. He is truly a humble man of the soil who has no idea of his own greatness. When he sings at the Grand Ole Opry, other artists gather at the side of the stage to watch him.

But Gene himself seems incapable of pride or self-congratulation. Indeed despite all his success he has never totally abandoned his auto repair business. But I never planned to be an entertainer. My whole family could. The itinerant Watson family moved from shack to shack until his father customized an old school bus for living quarters and transportation from job to job.

Ours was yellow. We traveled to Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas until one day my dad came in and decided we were going to Phoenix, Arizona. My dad was kind of a gypsy. My dad worked hard at whatever it took to put food on the table. He worked in the log woods.
