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
'.

The 'Paper Rosie' album was recorded at Jack Clement Studios, Nashville (Recording Engineer: Jim Williams)
