Ken Mellons (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 Ken Mellons' quote, which he submitted to this site on Tuesday 10 May 2005.

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

'Gene Watson, in my opinion, is just one of the many great country singers of our time that is so under rated.

Gene’s voice and songs have been a big influence on me and I’m proud to call him my friend'.


Thank you,
Ken Mellons, for your support of Gene Watson
