All of the the new country artist in 2023 , 24 need to listen to Gene and follow his lead , one of the greatest country singers in my lifetime, Im 62 in 23 and his songs are always the ones you want to sing along with , just saying
My mom got his autograph many years ago at a local honkytonk. Gene Watson has the purest voice in all of singing. Listen to him 30 years ago and now. Nothing has changed. He is one of the best if not the best ever. If the powers don’t put him in the country music hall of fame then we need to fire everyone of them!! Gene has earned this right!! He is the best at what he does!! Sincerely Bobby Hicks from Pageland SC
It's a downright shame that Gene Watson isn't a member of the national Country Music Hall of Fame!!! He's one of the few who not only sing a song from start to beginning - but his interpretation gives so much more. I tip my hat in your honor Mr Watson!
MAN THIS SONG SO TAKES YOU DOWN MEMORY LANE! IT JUST DONT GET NO BETTER THAN THIS! THANKS MR WATSON! WHO IS STILL LISTENING TO THE GOOD STUFF IN 2022? 👍🎵
@@elizabethswanson9862 The name of that song is "Before the Hammer Could Ring". Beautiful song sang so well by my friend, Gene Watson. I am a retired country music singer from Branson, MO and got to know Mr. Watson when he was doing shows there. He is one of the truly nice guys in the business.
The range and depth of Gene Watsons vocality , both tenor and baritone, is magnificent.Coutry music weaves traditional and contemporary instruments which form wonderful melodic lines. These combine with lyrical storytelling which are both down to earth and transcendent.
Gene Watson is truly one of the greatest true classic country singers ever. What a shame he never got the awards like many lesser singers received. He still sings today as well as he did 30 years ago and not many can do that. He and Ray Price are the rare ones.
It' s sad that todays artist have to have the teckno effects to compete. Did you notice Mr Watson was seated? No ear moniters. No pyro. No strobs. No dancing girls. Just pure talent.
One of my favorite artist favorite songs also. Can't help but think if those female artists are reflecting back to the man or boy that they left in their town to go pursue their career.
Watching this video with Gene Watson. WOW, the entire room is full of so many great artists. I feel so blessed to have lived during their time. This was the best time for real country music.
I can't believe that it took them until January 2020 to even make him a member of the Grand Old Opry. That's insane. You just don't hear music like his anymore. He has always been one of the very best.
I am excited to be seeing Gene Watson perform again July 14th. I used to faithfully go to Scotsburg, In, every March to see Gene and the band. Post Covid, he no longer opens the season in Indiana. I have introduced several family and friends to his music and will be bringing another new person this time...
Such a beautiful beautiful song, very heartfelt! Gene sings from his soul! Love love his magnificent voice and great songs! Thank you for all the great music over the years!❤❤❤❤
Today is April 1st. 2019 and all I want to say is I love Gene Watson's singing and his concerts are always packed. He is a true gentleman and his talent knows no bounds. He needs to be a member of the Opry and in the Country Music Hall of Fame. If it were possible, we would be at every show of his. His band is so talented and is so in sync with Gene.
Gene Watson,,, you're so loved!! That voice,, the beautiful music and you,, Gene!! Every song you sing just puts me in another world where "you're the only country artist" and the only music I listen to!! Merry Christmas to you and your family, God bless 🙌
I’m a big fan of Gene, he has been one of the most solid foundations of country music for many decades, the others come and go but Gene has risen to the top!
When Gene Watson sing this song it makes me want to make me want to dance . Ok Phillip Paz you sang this song like Chuck Berry. Doing sooooo goood but of course Jimcan sing this song just as good

It's awesome how he sings this so calmly. When a song calls for power, like You Gave Me a Mountain, he brings it. But a song like this he sings completely differently. Checks his ego at the door for the sake of the song. Respect that.
I listened to country from 1960 until 2000 and I felt it, it was good. From 2000 until 2021 it has went down" like a snow ball heading for hell " . Started back in 2010 going back to the old stuff, even started listening to southern rock and blues , blue Grass and others and found talents that I had brushed off over the years. There is very little heat and soul in music today, today's country is the worst. For those of us born in the 40s 50s and 60s ......we had the best !
Love this song. Thank you for being one of the best country singers. This is true country. What happen to country music. I will never listen to new country music again. Their will never be any as great as gene Watson and George Jones.
Absolutely wonderful. So heartfelt. Makes me want to cry. I live so far out west I may never see Gene Watson in person singing in concert....but an old lady can dream. 🙏🙏👍👍🏡🏡🎄🎅🌲💝💝😃😃
This is the real Essex of country music and why it is taking over all music. A true story told my a true story teller of our life's stories. I can see and feel this love story. Just an awesome song and true story. My pleasure to listen to!
What a great singer Gene is! I've listened to him since he first came out. I finally to meet Mr. Watson after a concert and had my picture taken with him For heaven's sake put Me. Watson in the Country Music Hall of Fame. He's very well deserved it plus a lot more. There will never ever be another Gene Watson!
One of the all time great voices in country music, the others all are thrilled to hear him sing every team me. Their respect shows. Gene Watson is a fabulous singer.
Now THIS is country music. I began to learn guitar in my 60's and can't even begin to bother with the new stuff but when I hear Haggard, Jennings and Watson, along with Ray Price , Eddy Arnold, Janie Fricke and Jim Reeves, I feel it in my bones. My husband and I were watching the CMT awards this year (20015) and got so fed up , we changed channels. What will Country be like once these people are gone? I MISS them already.....Tootsjps
@@rogerwillis7692 Paisley did not write this song & George Jones had a better version of it. Troy Seals & Max D. Barnes wrote it. Paisley can't carry water for the "Possum" !
thank you, gene watson for singing my Mother's song that she wrote in 1978...between you and Curly Putnam.....I appreciate it...you made a dream come true for her...
Seriously Melba...STOP SAYING THAT YOUR MOM WROTE THIS SONG. My father is Jim Rushing and he is the only writer of this song....he wrote this song about him and my mother...

I have been a Gene Watson fan my whole life, and at 57 Ive heard a lot of singers come and Go but Gene and his voice and style have remained a constant. He should be in everyones top 5 singers of all time.
He sure needs to be in the country Hall of fame
Hi Tina💐💐
I met Gene at a truckstop at the fuel island , he shook my hand and told me " be safe out there ", he was a doun to earth great guy.
Gene is easily the best country singer left.

Gene Watson deserves being in the country hall of fame!! Pure voice years after years!!
Like wine. Voice quality distilled by time.
Imagine being in a private setting like this listening to the Great Gene Watson. No one sings from the Heart like Gene.
When country music was down to nothing Gene still carries the torch!
This is pure class
How can Gene Watson not be in the Hall of Fame! He is the most purest singer probably of
all time!! No doubt he has to be in there!!
Gene Watson is a great singer
Being 85 years in this planet and lover of country songs, I consider Gene is one of my best favorate.

good as they come
He puts his heart in his passion. Not just getting the lyrics out, but has the feeling put in the song to give all his music such quality.
One of my favorite artist favorite songs also. Can't help but think if those female artists are reflecting back to the man or boy that they left in their town to go pursue their career.
ABSOLUTELY !!Great Singer has contributed a whole lot to Country Music !and Good Ole Texan !!!!💕🙏👌

Hello Cindy 👋 how are you doing today??
Did you see in the video who ,was there? Vince Gill, Charlie Pride, Bill Anderson, That just shows how great Gene Watson is!

tippimail1 Sorry but I have to disagree with you on Gene Watson sounding just as good as he did 30 years ago. He sounds better!!
You have a point there, Donna. I listened to when he performed it decades ago and now this one. I like this later one better.
Gets better with age
A lot of the late and greats of country music are sitting in awe.

Wow! Some of the best phrasing I've ever heard from a vocalist. Pure. Heartfelt. THIS is country music.
The little smiles and looks on Rhonda's face make this really special. She's cute and really cares for Gene.

A singers singer for sure ,what a voice.

The very best. My first memory was Paper Rosie. What a tear jerker.
I have been a Gene Watson fan my whole life, and at 57 Ive heard a lot of singers come and Go but Gene and his voice and style have remained a constant. He should be in everyones top 5 singers of all time.
It’s unfortunate that so many singers start losing their singing voice when they get older but not Gene. He’s amazing
A truly traditional country singer, Well done Mr Watson
