Gene Watson's Peers: Tommy Cash
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 2005 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
a quote from Tommy Cash, which he submitted to this site on
Saturday 23 April 2005.
Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Tommy Cash who has

'Gene Watson is a friend of mine & I think he is one of
the top three best
singers in country music. Along with George Jones &
Vern Gosdin, he touches
your heart strings down to the bone.
May I wish Gene Watson all the very best with his (fan-based) website'.
Thank you, Tommy Cash, for your support of Gene Watson
