Gene's Peers 2006...

Dallas Harms (February 2006)

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 2006 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 Dallas Harms' quote, which he submitted to this site on Friday 10 February 2006.

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

'What could I say about Gene Watson that hasn't already been said.  Musicians, background singers, studio engineers and producers will say Gene has a God-given gift that delivers a vocal performance that inspires and charms all who are involved creating his music in the studio or live performances.

That same connection also affects the heart of all his listeners.  Gene is way above the ordinary, in a league of his own - like George Jones & Merle Haggard!  It doesn't get better than that!'

Thank you, Dallas Harms, for your support of Gene Watson.

Thank you, Larry Delaney, editor of Country Music News (magazine) in Canada, without whose kind assistance this Dallas Harms quote would not have been possible.
