Gene Watson: Biography - 2002

contribution that Gene Watson has made to it. Between his major label debut
on Capitol Records in 1975 and the present day, Gene Watson has excelled
with his traditional slant within country music.
Biography: 2002
It has to be said that there are not many award trophies on Gene Watson's
mantelpiece at home in Texas. However, things changed for the better in
2002.
On Saturday 17 August 2002 Gene
Watson, along with fellow
country music artists Tanya Tucker & Nat Stuckey RIP, was inducted into
the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.
2002 was also the year that saw the release, courtesy of
Hux Records (in London, England), of
a single CD containing the re-mastered versions of Gene
Watson's 'Love in the Hot Afternoon'
(Capitol Records, 1975) & 'Paper
Rosie' (Capitol Records, 1977).
This release was lovingly produced with the original album artwork &
comprehensive liner notes. This release also proved to be a clear indication
that there is a need to have all of Gene Watson's material presented in such
a fashion.
