Joe Chambers (August 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 Joe Chambers' quote, which he submitted to this site on Friday 18 August 2006.

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

'Sean, thank you for your kind words about myself and my dear friend & co-writer Larry Jenkins.  I would be honoured to talk about Gene Watson for your site.

To me, Gene is one of a hand full of real country music singers, not just stars but  true vocal talents like George Jones, Merle Haggard & Patsy Cline.

It was a high point in my writing career to not only have Billy Sherrill produce but to have Gene Watson sing one of my songs.  To be honest with you, I think Mark Sherrill is also a writer on 'Ashes to ashes' also.  It's been a while since we wrote it now, but I'm pretty sure Mark is on that one too.

Good luck with the site & thank you for sharing your knowledge about Gene with all of his fans'.

Thank you, Joe Chambers, for your support of Gene Watson.
