Gene Watson and the Farewell Party Band is touring in August 2010 with Ray Lynam and Philomena Begley as the special Guests (Tour dates to be announced soon)
Gene Watson says “ I have been on top. And I've been just as low as you can go.” All of those ups and downs give "a taste of the truth" to Gene's new album. He concludes, "There's a tremendous number of people around the world who continue to come out to hear some fiddle and steel and songs about heartbreak and real life," Gene says. "Those folks are there to support real country music and make it possible for singers like me to continue to sing it.!”
