Amber Digby (May 2007)
Gene Watson's peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east
Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as
'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!
All of Gene's Peers who were contacted in 2007 were most gracious with
their time & words. It is here, within this special
part of gene-watson.com, that you have an opportunity to
