I never did go looking for music. Music found me.

 

 

CMI.Tv is proud to showcase the promo video shot for Gene and his upcoming tour. Whinbush Multimedia shot the concert in the Burnavon Theatre in Cookstown in its entirety and the full show including some fantastic backstage footage (some of which you can see in our “behind the scenes feature” on this site) was edited to create the short promo.

To find out more about Gene, his touring schedule and be kept up to date with his career and music, visit the most comprehensive, officially sanctioned web site in Ireland, in fact probably the best site in the world!

If Gene himself refers to the site during his shows and speaks with great fondness about its creator, Sean Brady; what better recomendation can you get! Just go and take a look!

Born in Palestine, Texas in 1943, Gene Watson was singing in holiness churches with his family at an early age. His father played blues harmonica and guitar alongside African-American field laborers. Watson grew up loving both bluesman Jimmy Reed and honky-tonk king Lefty Frizzell. His earliest public country performance came when he was just 12 years old. Watson dropped out of school in the ninth grade to work fulltime. He initially supported his family by doing auto body repair, so by day he worked on cars, and at night he sang in clubs.

Gene Watson Box Set Petition

The music of Gene Watson is part of the very constitution of country music. It is in Gene Watson's country music recordings that the tradition of heartfelt, genuine country music is preserved for all time.

Gene Watson is a singer in country music's grand tradition & has the skill to give powerful vocal performances and draw all the emotion from his selected material effortlessly. Gene has remained true to his Texas music roots for the best part of 30 years & is a standard bearer for honest, traditional country music.

Gene Watson's 'Beautiful Country' speaks for itself. It is a music of the people, for the people and ultimately by one of the people. His music is part of the very constitution of country music.

bear_familyThis Box Set Petition is directed to Richard Weize at Bear Family Records in Germany; its objective is to canvass for the release of a comprehensive box set of music featuring Gene Watson’s 'beautiful country'.

A Gene Watson Box Set of music would be a fitting tribute to a man who has been a standard bearer for honest, traditional country music for thirty years.

Bear Family Records is the world's greatest record label, specialising in vintage American country music & rock 'n' roll, along with German & International oldies, jazz and cabaret; Bear Family Records is a record label in a class of its own.

A comprehensive Gene Watson Box Set should ideally include all previously released material. The box set should also include previously unreleased material, rare demo recordings, studio out-takes, live performances, interviews & a plethora of photographsthe_petition_site_logo_small.

If you feel that a comprehensive Gene Watson Box Set should be released, for the benefit of Gene, his family & his longstanding army of fans around the world, please add your signature to the Gene Watson Box Set Petition, which is now available online courtesy of The Petition Site.
