Becky Hobbs (October 2005)

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 2005 were most gracious with their time & words.  It is here, within this special part of gene-watson.com, that you have an opportunity to read Becky Hobbs' quote, which she submitted to this site on Thursday 27 October 2005.

I (Sean Brady) would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Becky Hobbs who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Gene Watson is one of the best country music singers ever!  I challenge anyone with a heart to listen to 'Farewell party' and not feel it'.

Thank you, Becky Hobbs, for your support of Gene Watson
