Joe Fish (October 2004)

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 2004 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 Fish's quote, which he submitted to this site on Friday 29 October 2004.

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

'Gene Watson has a unique instantly recognisable voice that is up there with the legends of country music.  The first time I heard him on record (vinyl in those days) I knew he was destined to become one of my all-time favourites.

All these years later, he is still a regular on my radio programmes, simply because there is nobody like him (before or since) and he is a firm favourite with my audience, many of whom are going to Ireland in 2005 to see several of his concerts - he is that special!

Meeting Gene Watson and interviewing him on so many occasions has been a personal privilege to me and I could list many of my favourite songs by him, including the 'Gene Watson...Sings' album, which is superb'.

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