Gene Watson Releases 'Real.Country.Music.'
Watson’s 33rd Studio Album Available Now on iTunes, Amazon and GeneWatsonMusic.com
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After five decades in the music business and more than 75 charting singles, Watson continues to deliver an authentic, soulful album with Real.Country.Music., available now across digital retailers. “I’m so very proud of this album and what it stands for. I hope my fans enjoy it as much as I loved recording this Real.Country.Music.,” Watson said. Critics are raving about the country legend’s 33rd studio album: “The best thing about the new Gene Watson album is that it's a new Gene Watson album. Check out his covering a couple of low key classics such as Kris Kristofferson's "Enough For You" and "Help Me," an Elvis Presley charmer.” -Huffington Post, Mike Ragogna "The fourteen carat mind that crafted 'Love in the Hot Afternoon' shows that he's just as capable of polished pathos as ever with Real.Country.Music - an album that takes Watson fans into the tumultuous waters of lost love and through the ringer. It's as iconic an album as one could hope to make, bucking the artificial followers of the genre to make room for those in search of sympathetic songs." -The Rowdy, Justin Stokes “In striving to consistently live up to his audience’s expectations, Watson acknowledges the ongoing struggle that inevitably ensues in his efforts to live up to his own...That’s why Watson’s latest LP, Real.Country.Music., includes songs by such songwriting stalwarts as Kris Kristofferson (“Enough For You”), Larry Gatlin (“Help Me”), and Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran, and Keith Whitley (“She Never Got Me Over You”).” -No Depression, Donald Gibson Watson opens up about his gospel rendition of “Help Me,” a song penned by Larry Gatlin and recorded by Elvis Presley and “Enough For You,” written by Kris Kristofferson, in exclusive video premieres on TheBoot.com.
