About Gene Watson's 'Gene Watson: Gospel At Its Best'...

Overview
Gene Watson's 'Gene Watson: Gospel At Its Best' (Gusto Records, 2006) was released on Gusto Records and was an album project which Gene had been wishing to undertake for some time - a country music collection made up entirely of religious material.

The recording of the album was very much a family affair; six of the ten featured tracks were written by Gene Watson’s cousin Bobbie Joyce Harris Bost (Saturday 10 February 1940 - Saturday 6 April 2002), while his sisters Virginia Ruth Watson Thompson and Mary Lois Watson Templeton (Friday 28 October 1932 - Friday 9 April 2004), provided wonderful harmony vocals'.

Gene Watson's 'Gene Watson: Gospel At Its Best' (Gusto Records, 2006) was produced by Ray Pennington (Friday 22 December 1933 - Wednesday 7 October 2020) and the A&R was undertaken by Todd Mooring.

The Recording Engineer was Kevin McManus.

Gene Watson's 'Gene Watson: Gospel At Its Best' (Gusto Records, 2006) was recorded at Oak Valley Sound Studio in Nashville and was mastered by John Eberle, NRP.
