Please react to this awesome song called, WHEN A MAN CAN'T GET A WOMAN OFF HIS MIND,written by Bill Anderson..

[@63birdseye]

Thanks Pj one of my favorites.

[@lindabeckworth8637]

Always loved him. One of the best!

[@sandralorenz1796]

My favorite Gene Watson song. Thank you.

[@jssonstillwell3243]

This is a great song and that final bit where he belts it out is fantastic. Here's the thing, Gene Watson can still sing it like he does in the recording. I saw him on a show a.c about four years ago and he still sounds the same and can still hit that final note flawlessly. He has taken good care of his voice.

Great song and terrific artist. Fine country music.

We played this at my grandpas funeral. Gene Watson was one of his favorites.

[@derrickhorner6058]

Gene Watson is referred to as the singer's singer. He turned 80 this year, and is still touring. Check out his song, WHEN A MAN CAN'T GET A WOMAN OFF HIS MIND.

[@patricialangley7943]

Gene Watson has always been one of my all time favorites!

[@MARKB3946]

Such a stellar singer. He is known as and was named by his peers as the singer's singer.

[@warrenburlingame1172]

When I think about Gene hitting the high note at the end I get goosebumps. This is a perfect example of what country music should sound like. Interesting fact Little Jimmy Dickens was the first to record this. After that Waylon Jennings did it. I think we all agree Gene owns it

[@37434mh]

Yeah this is the real country for sure.

[@mintonmiller]

there is no mistaking this for anything other than country, and I love it. My favorite Gene Watson song is< Love In The Hot Afternoon. That song really grabbed my attention and made me listen. As for Farwell Party, I have never really gottin into it no matter who was singing it.

[@ednafenton7558]

1st time l heard Gene Watson was the song "After love in a hot afternoon."

[@lorithomas9221]

PJ, thank you for reacting to Farewell Party. This was Mom's song. She would dance with my oldest brother when they were going to the club. We played this at her funeral earlier this year.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

You are so wellcome! One of my new faves.

[@roniboyd613]

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤

[@lorithomas9221]

@roniboyd613 thank you. I appreciate your condolences.

[@tallestmountain]

I sent a text to one of my sisters, telling her one of our members introdiced you to Gene Watson Farewell Party, and that I was thinking over which other ones would be good for you to hear. Her response: "Every damn one of them!"

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

😂 I love it! Bring it on!

[@757optim]

I was lucky enough to see Gene & The Farewell Party in concert in a small venue (High School auditorium) when he played a benefit to build a YMCA in Chesapeake, Virginia. The real deal.

[@benjamminnw]

Love this song!

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@benjamminnw As soon as I heard it, it became an instant favorite of mine.

[@martyhall6486]

He's 80 some and has announced his 2024 touring schedule

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

WOW

[@TexasMagnolia]

Another great artist from Houston. Voice like butter!

[@PapaFixit]

No trash in my Trailer.......pleeeeeeeaaase??????

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Great title!

[@preachervideo]

Do some Gary Stewart. “Empty Glass” is a good place to start.

[@markoehler2752]

Yes! Gary Stewart!

[@PapaFixit]

Ten years of this!

[@JonBrew]

Truth, Gene Watson sounds better today than he did back then.. his voice has become like fine wine

[@highnrising]

Fine wine, cheap wine--he guzzled them all.

[@LeciaPurks]

Hey, PJ, my mom loves Gene Watson. Yesterday was her 80th birthday and Gene Watson was performing at Jefferson Theater in Beaumont, TX. My siblings and I surprised her with tickets. Let me tell you, as an 80 year old himself, he was incredible! He sounded absolutely amazing and was funny as heck. I’m so glad I got to see Gene in person and to experience it with my mom. He put on a truly good show.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

That is so cool! I love it! Bless you and your mom.

[@LeciaPurks]

Thank you!

[@63birdseye]

I agree with you Pj This is real country with a very sincere message Thanks again

[@angieday5183]

That steel guitar!

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Yes, crying like a baby

[@preachervideo]

Gene Watson is from Paris, Texas. His band is mostly from this area as well. His rhythm section, with Todd Hines on drums and Staley Rodgers on bass formerly played in my brothers band, Blackland. Good ol Gary Gene Watson!

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

I've been through Paris, on my way to Athens, I think. Love this song!

[@preachervideo]

He used to play the Red River Valley Fair every year.

[@johndavidson5228]

Truly traditional country music and voice. Love it.

[@markoehler2752]

That last note though- that is mr Gene Watson at his finest. I must have heard that song a million times growing up, and it still gives me chills.
