On Wednesday 10 April 2024, Gene Watson remembered that that day was celebrated as ‘Siblings Day’.
‘I hear it’s Siblings Day.
Here’s an old photo of all my brothers and sisters with my father, Ted, in front’
In 1997, Gene Watson saw the release of ‘Jesus Is All I Need‘ (Step One Records, 1997), an album project which Gene had wanted to undertake for some time – a country music collection made up entirely of religious material.
The recording of Gene Watson‘s ‘Jesus Is All I Need‘ (Step One Records, 1997), was very much a family affair; six of the ten featured tracks were written by Gene Watson‘s cousin, Bobbie Joyce Harris (Saturday 10 February 1940 – Saturday 6 April 2002), while Gene Watson‘s sisters, Virginia Ruth Watson Thompson and Mary Lois Watson Templeton (Friday 28 October 1932 – Friday 9 April 2004), provided wonderful harmony vocals.
