Gene Watson: Biography - 2003
It is difficult to imagine the world of country music without the vast
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: 2003
On Wednesday 21 May 2003, Gene Watson signed a recording contract with
Intersound Records, one of the four labels contained within the Compendia
Music Group.
Gene Watson's debut album for the label, 'Gene Watson...Sings', was recorded in
Nashville in June 2003 & was released in September 2003. The album
features the cream of Nashville’s session musicians & a wealth of strong,
traditional country music.
One of the session musicians featured on the album is the legendary
piano/keyboard player Hargus 'Pig' Robbins. Since Robbins' last recording
session was in 2000, we can safely assume that the tracks contained on 'Gene Watson...Sings' were recorded at least three years prior to release.
Nevertheless, the album was worth waiting for, as it clearly demonstrates
that Gene Watson can certainly hold his own among the country music artists
of the day.
