Chris Hillman (October 2004)

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 2004 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 Chris Hillman's quote, which he submitted to this site on Wednesday 6 October 2004.

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

'Gene Watson's voice is right up there in the major leagues with George Jones, Vern Gosdin & Lefty Frizzell for pure country soul.

Gene's recording of 'Farewell Party' is a roadmap for all aspiring singers'.

Thank you, Chris Hillman, for your support of Gene Watson.
