On Monday 22 September 2008, the
Official Gene Watson Site
announced that Gene Watson would receive a special
Spotlight Exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
The 'Gene Watson: Fourteen Carat Voice' Exhibit
was scheduled to open on Monday
20 October 2008 &
would run through to June 2009.
'Gene
Watson: Fourteen Carat Voice' would explore
Watson's career as a soulful vocalist rooted in the classic country
tradition, beginning with his steamy 1975 hit 'Love in the Hot Afternoon'.
In the exhibit, Watson's musical consistency would be
juxtaposed with his wardrobe's evolution. Stage costumes on display
would trace his 1970s clean-cut persona and
attention-grabbing stage wear to a more relaxed look through the 1980s.
Watson scored a string of honky-tonk-styled hits throughout the late '70s
and into the '80s that included 'Farewell party',
'Fourteen carat mind', 'Paper Rosie' and 'Memories
to burn'. Since winning his battle with cancer in
2001, Watson continues to showcase his smooth, clear tenor voice on albums
such as 'In a Perfect World'
(Shanachie
Records, 2007).
Artifacts in the exhibit would include:
a 1970s green suit with rhinestones and musical-note embroidery,
designed by Nudie's Rodeo Tailors
a burgundy stage costume designed by Judy of Nashville with
distinctive diamond shaped patterns embellished with rhinestones and ruby
stones
a suede cowboy hat with decorative pins that is featured on his 'Between
This Time & the Next Time' album
a floral-print western shirt from the early 1980s and hand tailored
patchwork boots

There's never a dull moment on the road with Gene Watson!
Gene Watson & his Farewell Party Band were temporarily sidelined on their
way to a performance in Gloversville, New York on Sunday 19 October
2008.
The bus driver was making a left turn on a narrow road just a few miles from
the venue when the trailer hitch snagged the curb & held tight.
A supersized towing truck & several police cars rushed to the scene to
disengage the teetering bus & eventually Gene & crew were on their way,
making it to the concert on time.
When asked how bad the bus situation looked to the former mechanic, Gene
Watson drily noted 'Well, let's just say we could have changed the tire with
no jack'.
Gene Watson - a hero, even when facing danger!

On Monday 22 September 2008, the
Official Gene Watson Site
announced that Gene Watson would receive a special
Spotlight Exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
The 'Gene Watson: Fourteen Carat Voice' Exhibit
was scheduled to open on Monday
20 October 2008 &
would run through to June 2009.
'Gene
Watson: Fourteen Carat Voice' would explore
Watson's career as a soulful vocalist rooted in the classic country
tradition, beginning with his steamy 1975 hit 'Love in the Hot Afternoon'.
In the exhibit, Watson's musical consistency would be
juxtaposed with his wardrobe's evolution. Stage costumes on display
would trace his 1970s clean-cut persona and
attention-grabbing stage wear to a more relaxed look through the 1980s.
Watson scored a string of honky-tonk-styled hits throughout the late '70s
and into the '80s that included 'Farewell party',
'Fourteen carat mind', 'Paper Rosie' and 'Memories
to burn'. Since winning his battle with cancer in
2001, Watson continues to showcase his smooth, clear tenor voice on albums
such as 'In a Perfect World'
(Shanachie
Records, 2007).
Artifacts in the exhibit would include:
a 1970s green suit with rhinestones and musical-note embroidery,
designed by Nudie's Rodeo Tailors
a burgundy stage costume designed by Judy of Nashville with
distinctive diamond shaped patterns embellished with rhinestones and ruby
stones
a suede cowboy hat with decorative pins that is featured on his 'Between
This Time & the Next Time' album
a floral-print western shirt from the early 1980s and hand tailored
patchwork boots
