Gene Watson Peer's Quote from David Smith: January 2010



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!

All of Gene Watson's Peers, who were contacted by The Gene Watson Fan Site, during 2010, were most gracious with their time and words.

It is here, within this special part of The Gene Watson Fan Site, that you have an opportunity to read a quote from David Smith, which he submitted to this site on Friday 29 January 2010.

Sean Brady would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to David Smith who made a special contribution to this unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.



David Smith at Hilltop Studios in Nashville during a recording session for Gene Watson's 'A Taste of the Truth' (Shanachie Records, 2009) on Wednesday 6 May 2009

David Smith
This quote was submitted on Friday 29 January 2010.

'I've had the pleasure of recording with Gene Watson for the past 16 years and every time, the experience gets better!

Not only is Gene the best country artist ever, he is a top notch person.

The excitement he brings to the studio can't be matched.  He can't give a bad vocal performance!


On takes he thinks can be improved on, are absolutely great!  He knows what he wants in a track, and knows how to relate that information to the players.

Without a doubt, his records are the most enjoyable I have had the pleasure to work on'

Thank you, David Smith, for your support of Gene Watson.
