Gene Watson continues to stay true to his traditional country style with the release of his new record, My Gospel Roots, available in the Fall of 2017.
Over the years, Watson has proved that he is one of the great traditional country artists of his generation, and is defiantly proud to release a Gospel album that stands out in the wave of today's popular music. He is even prouder to dedicate his new album to his parents, Ted and Thelma Watson, who he credits for raising him in the church and sharing their love for Gospel music.
The 13-track record brings the pure, organic country sound that Watson is famous for to gospel songs that he grew up with.
"This record really goes back to my roots of being in that little church and singin' hymns. We had nothing but love, family and prayer back then, so I wanted to honour those traditions with this album," Watson said.
