Gretchen Peters (September 2006)

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 2006 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 Gretchen Peters' quote, which she submitted to this site on Monday 4 September 2006.

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

'I remember very clearly the first time I heard Gene Watson's voice.  I was driving my old Pontiac in Denver, Colorado late at night, and 'Farewell party' came on the radio.  I was a new convert to country music back then, just soaking up whatever I could find.

The last note Gene sings on that record pinned my years back and nearly made me wreck the car. It was an astonishing voice and a perfect song.  I was blown away.  The next day I went out and bought every Gene Watson record I could find.  He remains, to this day, one of my very favourite country singers'.

Thank you, Gretchen Peters, for your support of Gene Watson.
