We’re listening to some great music by the Texas Country Music Hall of Famer.
On this date in 1943, country music great Gene Watson — who was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2020 — was born in Palestine, Texas. Today, we’re listening to some of Watson’s greatest hits. First on tap: “Love in the Hot Afternoon.” Watson continues to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that career-defining chart-topper — and the upcoming 45th anniversary of his hit “Fourteen Carat Mind” — with his ongoing national tour.
