Linda Davis (October 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
Linda Davis' quote, which
she submitted to this site on Wednesday 25 October 2006.
I (Sean Brady)
would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Linda Davis who has made a special contribution to a unique part
of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'I
just wanted to let other Gene Watson
fans know that he is the genuine
article. A country song was never
sung better than one sung by Gene.
I am also from Texas...we're very proud
of our home-grown country boy.
Thanks Gene for what you mean to me & to
country music'.
Thank you,
Linda Davis, for your support of Gene Watson.
About Linda Davis...
Linda Davis
is
a native of Dodson, Texas where she sang on local radio by the time
she was six. Linda moved to Nashville in 1982
& teamed up with Skip Eaton to form the duo Skip &
Linda; together they had three minor hit singles,
the biggest of which was 'If you could see you
through my eyes'.
Linda subsequently worked as a commercial-jingle
singer before catching on as a backup vocalist with
Reba McEntire. She had a minor chart single in
1988 with 'All the good ones are taken', but she
didn't record her debut album ('In a Different
Light') until 1991, when she
signed with Liberty Records.
The 'In a Different Light' album produced two more
minor hits (the title track & 'Some kinda woman').
The album, however, was not a big seller; nor was
the self-titled follow-up ('Linda Davis') which
appeared in 1992.
In 1993, Linda found herself (& Reba McEntire) at
the top of the country charts with 'Does he love
you', which won a Grammy Award for Best Country
Vocal Collaboration. With her newfound
exposure & a recording deal with Arista Records,
Linda next album 'Shoot the Moon' was released in
1994 & charted in the country Top 30. Her 1996
follow-up album 'Some Things are Meant to Be' also
charted in the Top 30.
Linda Davis switched to DreamWorks Records in 1998 &
saw the release of the 'I'm Yours' album in 1998, which featured new
tracks & some previously released material. The
album 'I Have Arrived' was released in 2004.
