Dale Watson This quote was submitted on Tuesday 25 October 2005 'Gene Watson has always been a part of my country music diet. 'Paper Rosie' was the first song I heard of him & I was a fan from then on. Having the same last name, I was always asked if I was related to Gene. We are from the same part of Texas, but the answer was 'no', but I'm a big fan. To this day, I still get asked that about Gene and I still say 'no', but I'm a big fan'. Thank you, Dale Watson, for your support of Gene Watson About Dale Watson... Dale Watson was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1962, but spent his teenage years near Houston & grew up to think of Texas as his true home state. Following graduation from high school, Dale spent seven years playing local clubs & honky tonks. Rosie Flores advised him to move to Los Angeles, a move he made in 1988. Dale recorded two singles for Curb Records in 1990, 'One tear at a time' & 'You pour it on' & appeared on the third volume of the compilation series 'A Town South of Bakersfield' in 1992. Dale then relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, but he didn't enjoy his time there & moved to Austin, Texas, a city more in tune with his brand of hard, traditional country music. It was while he was in Austin that he formed a backing band called The Lone Stars. In the early part of 1995, Dale secured a recording contract with Hightone Records & produced three of the finest albums to grace country music in years; 'Cheatin' Heart Attack' (1995), 'Blessed or Damned' (1996) & 'I Hate These Songs' (1997). Dale Watson's later albums are also essential elements in any true country music fan's collection; 'The Truckin' Sessions (1998), 'Every Song I Write is for You' (2001), 'Christmas Time in Texas (2001), 'Live in London, England' (2002), 'Dreamland' (2004) & ''Heeah!
