About 'Eighteen Greatest Hits'...
Album Sleeve Notes
'Considered by many to be the 'King' of the hard country vocal stylists,
Gene Watson is often cited as the man who started the hard vocal trend that
is so prevalent in country music today.
Gene's first big break came in the mid-1960s. He was singing in a nightclub
in Houston, Texas when a couple of businessmen in the record industry heard
him perform one night. Soon afterward, Gene was recording songs. His third
attempt proved to be a winner.
'Love in the hot afternoon' was a huge hit in 1975, and is now considered
Gene's signature song. To date, Gene Watson has over 40 charted recordings
to his credit. This TEE VEE Records Twin Pack includes 18 of this legendary
singer's greatest hits'.
