Mike Headrick (November 2007)

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 2007 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 Mike Headrick's quote, which he submitted to this site on Saturday 24 November 2007.

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

'I don't know of any artist in country music history with a better voice, or anyone who has more ability to capture the soul of a song & transform it into a timeless masterpiece.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the modern, money-driven music world does or what direction it may take, it can't undo what Gene Watson has done for country music out of pure love'.
 

Thank you, Mike Headrick, for your support of Gene Watson.
