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 Watson’s Peers, who were contacted during 2021, were most gracious with their time and words.
It is here, within this special part of The Gene Watson Fan Site, that you have an opportunity to read a quote from Aimee Mayo, which she submitted to this site on Wednesday 10 March 2021.
Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to Aimee Mayo, who made a special contribution to this unique part of this online ‘celebration of a Lone Star Hero’.
Aimee Mayo
This quote was submitted on Wednesday 10 March 2021.
‘I didn’t really know Gene, but the one thing I’ve always remembered about him is he recorded a song of my Dad’s – Danny ‘Bear’ Mayo (Monday 2 October 1950 – Saturday 2 October 1999) – called ‘Change Her Mind‘, which he co-wrote with Paul Nelson and Larry Boone, and of the dozens of songs my Dad had recorded, that was his favourite.
I guess my quote would be something like ‘Gene Watson has one of the most emotional and real voices in country music.
It just sounds like truth’
Thank you, Aimee Mayo, for your support of Gene Watson.
