Gene Watson: 'Jesus Is All I Need' (Step One Records, 1997)

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.
