About 'Gene Watson: 16 Super Hits'...

Album Overview

'Gusto Records is a Nashville-based record company which specialises in reissuing and licensing recordings from its vast catalogue of music from acquired record labels and their own studio recordings.

Around 2005, Gusto Records acquired the back catalogue of Step One Records, an independent record label which had operated out of Nashville between 1984 and 1997 and which had been founded by Ray Pennington and Curtis Potter.

'Gene Watson: 16 Super Hits' contains some very fine material from Gene Watson's time with Step One Records in the mid-to-late 1990s; one track has also been taken from Gene's time with Broadland Records/Mercury Canada in 1992'.
