About 'Paper Rosie'...
Album Sleeve Notes
'There is that particular something in the voice of Gene Watson that reaches
out and attracts almost every listener. Whether its special warmth or extra
feeling, it has caused this talented Texan to emerge in the past two years
as one of the top new singers in Country music.
It started with the album 'Love in the Hot
Afternoon' which contained three smash hit singles - the title tune,
'Where love begins' and 'You could know as much about a stranger'. He
followed his initial success with more of the same. With the release of his
second Capitol album, 'Because You Believed
in Me', his legions of fans just kept growing. That album contained two
more hits, the title song and 'Her body couldn't keep you off my mind'.
Now Gene is exploring new themes and showing everyone he has no limitations
as a singer and total Country entertainer. With this album he is once again
touching the hearts and souls of everyone who takes the time to listen'.
All tracks on the Gene Watson 'Paper Rosie' album were produced by
Russ Reeder except 'Desperation' (track indicated thus
◊), which was produced
by Russ Reeder and Bob Webster.
The 'Paper Rosie' album was recorded at Jack Clement Studios, Nashville
(Recording Engineer:
Jim Williams).
