Overview
Having enjoyed a
successful five-year sojourn at Capitol Records between 1975 & 1980,
Gene Watson felt like he needed a change of label, so he joined the MCA
Records roster in the latter part of 1980.
The country music success of Gene Watson, on
both the singles & album charts in the USA, continued apace with his new
label, where he saw the release of six successful albums.
The 'Texas
Saturday Night' compilation album, which contains a selection of tracks
from five of these releases, is a superb celebration of Gene's time at
the label & represents a classy overview of Gene's very best work for
MCA Records.
The 'Texas Saturday Night' (compilation) album features tracks which were
previously included on the Gene Watson (MCA Records) albums: 'Between
This Time & the Next Time' (1981), 'This
Dream's on Me' (1982), 'Sometimes
I Get Lucky' (1983), 'Little by Little'
(1984 & 1990) & 'Heartaches,
Love & Stuff' (1984).
