Gene Watson
By All Music Guide
Though he can sing honky-tonk, Gene Watson built a reputation for soulful ballads in the classical country tradition. Born one of seven children in Palestine, TX, Watson married early and was working as an auto-body man when he began frequenting the clubs in Houston. He recorded for a few small-time regional labels during the early 70s like Wide World and Stoneway. Watson finally had success in 1974, when a steamy single for Resco -- Love in the Hot Afternoon -- was picked up for national distribution by Capitol Records, igniting a firestorm of national hits: Where Love Begins, Paper Rosie, Farewell Party, Should I Come Home (Or Should I Go Crazy), and Nothing Sure Looked Good on You. In 1982, shortly after moving to MCA, Watson recorded his only chart-topper, Fourteen Carat Mind. A parade of Top Ten entries followed during the early 80s, including Speak Softly (Youre Talking to My Heart) and Youre Out Doing What Im Here Doing Without. Watson is a vocal stylist of considerable talent, and still owns his own body shop.
