'Gene is, in my book, one of the best singers to ever live.  He's a one of a kind stylist who has a way of making even a simple song a work of art.

I have friends who have had lots of songs recorded by Gene & they are always the ones they are most proud of'.

Thank you, Buddy Lee Owens, for your support of Gene Watson.
