Gene Watson - 18 Greatest Hits ReviewGene began his recording career with Capitol and it is from that period that this set is compiled. He had many hits on the country chart but his only number one hit (Fourteen carat mind) came after he had moved to MCA. Nevertheless, the song Gene is best remembered for is one of his Capitol recordings, Farewell party, a song originally recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens. The song remained obscure until Gene recorded it. More recently, both Alan Jackson and Joe Nichols have covered it.
The farewell party in Gene's song is actually a funeral. An old man knows that his wife doesn't love him anymore and pleads with her to stay with him for the few months he still has to live, and give him a decent funeral. It is an extremely sad song, emphasized by the way it is performed - with Gene backed only by a steel guitar.
Gene's other great hits during his Capitol years included Love in the hot afternoon (the song that got his career started), Paper Rosie (the title track of my favorite original Gene Watson album) and many other classic songs such as Pick the wildwood flower, One sided conversation, Cowboys don't get lucky all the time, Raising cane in Texas and a cover of No one will ever know.
Gene was one of the best traditional country singers of his era and provided a sharp contrast with the prevailing pop-country music of the day.Gene Watson - 18 Greatest Hits Overview
