Curtis Young (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

'Gene Watson is one of the best singers I
have ever worked with. His delivery of a song makes you
feel like you are singing it yourself. His pitch is great
and his phrasing is right on.
I have spent many enjoyable hours
in the studio listening to Gene’s rich voice through my
headphones and harmonising to some of the best songs ever
written and the finest artistry ever. I wish Gene the very best
always and would love to work with him anytime'.
Thank you,
Curtis Young,
for your support of Gene Watson
