Don Henry (September 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 Don Henry's quote, which he submitted to this site on Tuesday 21 September 2004.

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

'To have a country legend like Gene Watson put his signature voice on one of your songs is truly an honour.  He used the version with the first verse recitation that Craig Morris & I rewrote for Ray Charles, but he made it all his own as only Gene can do.

Thank you, Gene.  Your voice on one of my songs gives me the country credibility that I never thought I would have'.


Thank you, Don Henry, for your support of Gene Watson.
