In the February 2024 issue of the United Kingdom’s highly acclaimed, monthly publication, ‘Country Music People‘, Gene Watson was featured on ‘The David Allan Page’.
‘Great to hear from that veteran of real country music, Gene Watson that, at the age of eighty, he’s about to undertake a long tour, which goes on until November – sadly only in the States.
At his side will be his long-standing Farewell Party Band which he says is like ‘a well-oiled machine. They know when to kick into high gear and when to just let it ride’.
He has also just recorded a new single with the Bellamy Brothers, ‘Forever Ain’t Long Enough’, which will be out later this month.
Gene, to me, represents the very best of country music – a really great voice singing well-crafted songs we can all relate to.
What, I wonder, would be the reaction were he, by some magic, to be dropped into the middle of the C2C festival for just a few minutes?’
