On Saturday 19 April 2025, Gene Watson recalled recording with his good friend, Trace Adkins, in 2009.
‘Trace Adkins has been a friend for many years, and he’s a fellow Grand Ole Opry member too.
These days, he’s a major actor with a long list of television and movie credits, but he’s always the most down to earth guy you’ll ever meet.
It was an honour to have him record with me for my ‘A Taste of The Truth‘ (Shanachie Records, 2009) album, back in 2009, when this photo was taken’
