Album Sleeve Notes
Thanks From The Heart
'Throughout my musical career, I
have had the pleasure of working
with the greatest people in the
business. At this point in my
career, I feel better about my new
recording contract with RMG than all
the others in the past.
I would like to thank, of course, my
manager Allen Whitcomb for working
so closely with me. Many thanks to
George Collier, president of RMG,
and his staff for working out a way
to get me back in the mainstream of
what I love so much - COUNTRY MUSIC.
I would like to thank Ray Pennington
for coming out of retirement to help
me with this project. I would also
like to thank
Buddy Emmons
for coming out of studio retirement
to work with me.
Other musicians I would like to
thank are David Smith, Jerry Kroon,
Aubrey Haynie,
Gregg
Galbraith,
Dirk Johnson,
Milton Sledge, John Wesley Ryles,
and Bobby All, along with one of the
greatest engineers in the business,
Kevin
McManus. Thanks
so much to my fan club president,
Leslie Elliot, who does such a great
job, and the Bobby Roberts Company
that keeps the Farewell Party Band
and me busy on the road.
Most of all I want to thank my God
for giving me the talent to attract
all the people mentioned above, and
of course, all my fans and friends
who have stuck with me throughout
the many years of good and bad,
thick and thin, or whatever came
along.
Forever country,
Gene Watson'
