Customer Reviews:

A Great Country Album!.......2002-03-14

This is the best sample of Gene Watson's work available on CD. It is essentially the album "Heartaches, Love and stuff" (which I always considered his best work) with a couple other good songs thrown in and, unfortunately, a couple of good songs thrown out. Gene's voice has such a great, unique, quality. I played this CD at work a few times and worried that my co-workers would hate it. Instead, Gene Watson gained a few more devoted fans. This album is hard not to like. My only wish is that they would re-release "Heartaches, love and stuff" in it's original form. If you're a fan of Gene's or are just curious about him, this is the best place to start.

Best Gene Watson "Greatest Hits" CD currently available..........2001-08-16

I have been listening to Gene Watson for at least 20 years. Finally there is a CD worthy of this man's incredible singing talent. Just about every "hit" song that he has ever recorded is here. There are several other Gene Watson "greatest hits" CDs out there -- don't be fooled as this one is the one to purchase. Eighteen songs and not one of them weak. Gene has had an "up and down" career in the country music business. And that is quite sad, as he is one of the best pure country singers around today. In fact, he can sing the blues, honky tonk,and just about anything else with the very best of them. He has never received the credit that he deserves. Listen to "Paper Rosie","Love In The Hot Afternoon","The Old Man And His Horn". Gene is much more than the "king" of the hard-country vocal style, though he is that as well. I should mention that there are some other great Watson songs that, unfortunately, do not appear on this disc. Two that stand out are "14 Carat Mind" and "She's Out Doing What I'm Here Doing Without." There are others, but overall this is a superb collection. So until someone puts together some type of 2-disc set, this CD will have to do. You won't be skipping past or over any songs here. A great compilation from an artist who deserves much more recognition than he has ever received.

Awesome human being!.......1999-07-24

I saw Gene Watson in person at the Spokane Interstate Fair and would enjoy seeing him again. Under-rated is an understatement. It is sad that we don't hear more of his music. Finding all of his music has been nearly impossible. Now I have finally located all of his music on-line and I will buy them all. He is my favorite artist.

I enjoy listening to all of Gene Watsons CD's.......1999-02-22

I very much enjoy listening to Gene Watson's Cd's. Ive been trying to find a cd called this dreams on me, but have been unable to locate it. If anyone knows where i could locate one please let me know. I think all the songs on this album are very good and easy to listen to.

Best of the early years.......2005-08-02

This is a straight re-issue of a compilation originally released on vinyl in 1978, so it doesn't include Gene's later Capitol hits such as Farewell party. Nevertheless, there are some great songs here.

Among the classics here are Love in the hot afternoon, You could know as much about a stranger, Paper Rosie and Because you believed in me. There's also an amusing song (John's back in town) about the difficulties of dating another man's woman.

The market for Gene's brand of relaxing, traditional country music may be limited, but if you like this kind of music, you'll enjoy this album. Many of the tracks here have been re-released on other Gene Watson CD's but if you get a chance to buy this at a reasonable price, take that chance.
