Jolie Holliday (September 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 Jolie Holliday's quote, which she submitted to this site on Wednesday 6 September 2006.

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

'Thank you for the great tribute website & for allowing me the privilege of voicing my opinion on one of the most talented vocalists of the last three decades.

Although I had heard of him, I became a true Gene Watson fan when I had the honour of opening a show for him at the age of fourteen.  Gene is one of those rare song stylists who possesses the ability to take the writer's emotions & deliver them as though he was singing about his own personal experiences.

If the general listening audience had the musical knowledge of those in the industry, I believe Gene Watson would have been one of the megastars of country music.

Gene continues to stay true to his traditional roots and, like fine wine, he gets better with age.  The fact that very few of his hit songs have been covered by other artists, only proves that once Gene Watson sings a song, it has been sung'.

Thank you, Jolie Holliday, for your support of Gene Watson.
