About 'Jesus Is All I Need'...
Overview
'Jesus Is All I Need' was released on Step One Records and was an album project that Gene had been wishing to undertake for some time - a country music collection made up entirely of religious material.
The recording of the album was very much a family affair; six of the ten featured tracks were written by Gene’s cousin Bobbie Bost, while his sisters Virginia Ruth Watson Thompson and Mary Lois Watson Templeton, provided wonderful harmony vocals'.
'Jesus Is All I Need' was produced by Ray Pennington.
The A&R was undertaken by Todd Mooring and the Recording Engineer was Kevin McManus.
'Jesus Is All I Need' was recorded at Oak Valley Sound Studio, Nashville and was mastered by John Eberle, NRP.
