‘On Sunday 8 July 2012, taking a break from their tour of one night stands, Gene Watson and Jerry Kilgore brought genuine hardcore country music to Americana.
Watson, with 50 years of recording to his credit, had a powerful repertoire from which to select songs – including ‘Paper Rosie’, ‘Farewell Party’ and the chart-topping ‘Fourteen Carat Mind’ – while the younger Kilgore is fast winning over the British country fans with a catalogue of virtually fresh material.
Both artists sold CDs and signed autographs to a mass of delighted fans following their appearance on stage’.
This Live Show Review of Gene Watson and Jerry Kilgore‘s appearances at Americana International in Newark, Nottinghamshire, England, was written by Duncan Warwick (Tuesday 18 July 1961 – Sunday 17 November 2024) and Tony Byworth and was published in the August 2012 issue of Country Music People.
