Luke Reed (June 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 Luke Reed's quote, which he submitted to this site on Friday 16 June 2006.

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