Excellent Collection Of Original Capitol Hit Recordings(1975-1980) by Boomertunes (Illinois USA)  5 Stars
March 07, 2009
Universally acclaimed as one of the classic traditional country vocalists, Gene Watson has recorded a prolific body of work over the span of his career. The combination of his clear, smooth, expressive voice with well chosen material makes for some essential listening.
This TeeVee CD release,"18 Greatest Hits", features the original recording of every Gene Watson charting single between 1975-1980.
From the title tunes of his debut LP,"Love In The Hot Afternoon" (1975),through his final LP, "No One Will Ever Know"(1980), the rest of his "classic seven" Capitol LP releases are represented: "Because You Believed In Me(1976), "Paper Rosie"(1977), "Beautiful Country"(1977), "Reflections"(1978), and "Should I Come"(1979).
In the mix are story songs("The Old Man and His Horn" and "Paper Rosie"), uptempo honky tonkers ("Raisin' Cain In Texas" and "Pick the Wildwood Flower"), and romantic ballads ("Nothing Sure Looked Good On You" and "Bedroom Ballad").
His big gun signature song,"Farewell Party", is here of course, but no less powerful are the quieter, more subtle tunes like "I Don't Need A Thing At All" and "One Sided Conversations".
Gene Watson went on to record other hits for the MCA, Epic, and Warner Brothers labels and they are available in many combinations on various collections and anthologies.
Don't be deceived by the cut rate packaging-this is a great, complete collection of Gene Watson's early singles on the Capitol label.

Gene Watson - 18 Greatest Hits by J. Bryant (NC) 5 Stars
January 07, 2008
This CD was a replacement of a tape for a very dear elderly friend. We were afraid her tape would break and there is a special song on it that she plays daily.
She is now using the CD daily. It was a great surprise for her

| Ultimate Collection
by Gene Watson
Gary Gene Watson never intended on a career in music. When you take a look at the tracks on this Ultimate Collection, it becomes evident his absence would have left a gaping hole in country music, for as one of Nashville's premiere country journalists, Robert K. Oermann, has said, "The world stops spinning when he sings." So, while, as Watson says, "I never did go looking for music, music found me," music was obviously destined for this unassuming man born in Palestine, Texas and raised in...
