Jeannie Seely (May 2005)

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 2005 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 Jeannie Seely's quote, which she submitted to this site on Thursday 5 May 2005.

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

'As I have said many times when I have had the honour of introducing Gene on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, he truly is a singer's singer!

Not only does he have one of the most unique, true voices in our business, he delivers the song with so much emotion that you feel exactly what the songwriter was trying to tell you, and you can understand every word.

Other than that, I don't like him much!  I'm also proud to call him my friend'.


Thank you,
Jeannie Seely, for your support of Gene Watson
