RONNIE DUNN of BROOKS & DUNN recently had this to say about Gene Watson:

"As a singer in a beer joint band, I survived many late night Texas & Oklahoma honky tonks by hosing the rowdies down with a late night Gene Watson song.

He's one of the all time, great classic country singers.  'Got no reason now for going home' has a permanent place on my play list.

To this day he is known as a singer's singer in Nashville.  Gene is a special artist.  The trail that he forged made it possible for a lot of us to be where we are today."
