About 'Best of Gene Watson'...
Overview
At the time that the 'Best of Gene Watson'
was released, Gene
Watson had
been a recording artist with the independent record label Step One Records
for three years, his first album release for the label having been 'Uncharted
Mind' in 1993.
Gene Watson's days as an artist on a major record label had come to an end
with the release of 'At Last'
(Warner

Gene Watson's major label career had involved stints with Capitol
Records (1975-1980), MCA Records (1981-1984), Epic Records (1985-1987) &

During his tenure at MCA Records, Gene Watson had

This Time & the Next Time' (1981), 'Old Loves
Never Die' (1981), 'This Dream's on Me'

album releases, namely 'Sometimes I Get Lucky'
