On Wednesday 17 April 2024, Gene Watson was honoured by fellow country music artist, Darryl Worley, when he selected Gene as one of his ‘Mount Rushmore’ four in country music
‘If I had to give you my ‘Mount Rushmore’ four in country music, I’d put Keith Whitley (Thursday 1 July 1954 – Tuesday 9 May 1989) up there, without a shadow of a doubt, obviously Merle Haggard (Tuesday 6 April 1937 – Wednesday 6 April 2016), Vern Gosdin (Sunday 5 August 1934 – Tuesday 28 April 2009) and Gene Watson‘
‘I was deeply humbled – thank you, Darryl Worley‘
