Album Overview
Gusto Records is a Nashville-based record
company which specialises in reissuing & licensing recordings from its vast
catalogue of music from acquired record labels & their own studio
recordings.
Around 2005, Gusto Records acquired the back catalogue of Step One Records,
an independent record label which had operated out of Nashville between 1984

'Gene Watson: 16 Super Hits' contains some very fine material from Gene
Watson's time with Step One Records in the mid-to-late 1990s; one
