Peer's Quote about Gene Watson from Fellow Country Music Artists, Lisa & Teresa McCarter: Saturday 5 September 2020

Details
Published: 06 September 2020



Gene Watson's Peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as 'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!

Lisa & Teresa McCarter (The McCarter Twins) and Chip Winter

Acclaimed country music artists, Lisa & Teresa McCarter, who were an integral part of The McCarters, were most gracious with their time and words about Gene Watson, when they submitted a quote on Saturday 5 November 2020.

Lisa & Teresa McCarter (The McCarter Twins) and Chip Winter

Lisa & Teresa McCarter grew up in the Smoky Mountains, surrounded by mountain music, in Sevierville, Tennessee, where they were born on Monday 21 November 1966.

The McCarters were an American country music trio, which included Jennifer McCarter (born Jennifer Lorene 'Jenny' McCarter in Baptist Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday 7 March 1964), and her sisters Lisa and Teresa (born on Monday 21 November 1966), who are twins.

The McCarters' passion for country music led them to Nashville, where, in August 1986, they were granted a live audition for Nashville record producer, Kyle Lenning, which led to a telephone call from Warner Bros. Records and, by March 1987, Jennifer McCarter and her sisters, Lisa and Teresa, were signed to the record label.



On Tuesday 21 June 1988, The McCarters (Jennifer, Lisa and Teresa) saw the release of their debut album, 'The Gift' (Warner Bros. Records, 1988), which was produced by Ed Seay, Paul Worley and Sharon Eaves (1961 - Friday 25 September 2015), and included three tracks, which were hit singles on the Billboard country music singles chart:

'Timeless & True Love' (written by Buzz Cason, Charlie Black and Austin Roberts) (No.5, 1987) / this track also reached No.6 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1987

'The Gift' (written by Nancy Montgomery) (No.4, 1988) / this track also reached No.2 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1988

'I Give You Music' (written by Dennis Adkins) (No.28, 1988) / this track also reached No.16 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1988


The McCarters' debut album, 'The Gift' (Warner Bros. Records, 1988), reached No.36 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart in 1988.

The McCarters (Jennifer, Lisa and Teresa) supported the release of their debut album, 'The Gift' (Warner Bros. Records, 1988), with a worldwide tour opening for Randy Travis, along with an appearance on Dolly Parton's 'Dolly' variety show (like Dolly Parton, The McCarters hailed from Sevierville in Tennessee).

Jennifer McCarter & The McCarters: 'Better Be Home Soon' (Warner Bros. Records, 1990)

On Friday 2 February 1990, The McCarters (Jennifer, Lisa and Teresa) saw the release of 'Better Be Home Soon' (Warner Bros. Records, 1990), which was produced by Ed Seay and Paul Worley, and included four tracks, which were hit singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart:

'Up & Gone' (written by Verlon Thompson and Bill Caswell) (No.9, 1989) / this track also reached No.5 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1989

'
Quit While I'm Behind' (written by Verlon Thompson) (No.26, 1989) / this track also reached No.28 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1989

'
Better Be Home Soon' (written by Neil Finn) (No.73, 1990) / this track also reached No.65 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1990 / this track was originally recorded by Crowded House, who included it on 'Temple of Low Men' (Capitol Records, 1988)

'
Shot Full of Love' (No.73, 1990) / this track also reached No.48 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks Chart in 1990

Following the release of 'Better Be Home Soon' (Warner Bros. Records, 1990), The McCarters (Jennifer, Lisa and Teresa) were released from their recording contract with Warner Bros. Records in the early 1990s.

Sweet Nothin's Trio (Lisa & Teresa McCarter, and Chip Winter)

Sweet Nothin's Trio is a vocal trio consisting of Lisa and Teresa McCarter (The McCarter twins) and Chip Winter.

After a hiatus from music for two decades, The McCarters decided it was time to make more music and, in so doing, included Lisa's husband, Chip.

Sweet Nothin's Trio (Lisa & Teresa McCarter with Chip Winter): 'Sweet Memories' (Sweet Nothin's Trio Independent Release, 2018)

On Monday 12 March 2018, Sweet Nothin's Trio (Lisa & Teresa McCarter with Chip Winter) saw the release of 'Sweet Memories' (Lisa & Teresa McCarter Independent Release, 2018).
