Sounds like Sonny Garrish to me. Always the right phrase in the right place.

Their voices together rival G&T and C&L
They sound GREAT!

The punk rockers in Nashville will surely try to kill this tune! They don't want people to know what "Real Country" music sounds like and it new country!

It doesn't get better than Gene and Rhonda! Thanks for the post!

Sonny played steel on his last CD. Did some pretty work to. Mike Johnson plays on several of these songs but Sonny is playing of Staying Together.

as a side note:

Album Sleeve Notes
'Special thanks from Gene Watson – from the heart! – to Sarah Brosmer for helping to make this album happen.

Without the help of many great friends, this album would not have been made. Thanks to all of the extraordinary musicians who put their personal artistry on the record: Kelly Back, James Gordon Freeze, Sonny Garrish, Aubrey Haynie, Dirk Johnson, Gail Rudisill-Johnson, Mike Johnson, Joel Key, David Smith & Robb Tripp.

To Liana Manis and John Wesley Ryles, thanks for the fantastic background
vocals.

To Rhonda Vincent, Trace Adkins and Alison Krauss - Words can’t express what an honor it was to record with you. Not only do you have unparalleled vocal talent but the gift you gave of your personal time means the world to me.

That's a super country song.

Question??? Why do they have to have the drums so loud on a lot of the newer country records? Don't get me wrong, this is a great song and great singing and playing, but I could enjoy it a lot more if the drums were not so out in front.

Does anyone else notice this in the newer recordings vs. the classics. If George and Tammy had recorded this, I can't imagine the drums being so dominant. Maybe I'm missing something. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Folks....
This is for real. Gene and Rhonda.
This is what the industry needs. A powerful song well produced and renewing that ole country flavor.
Makes me think we could all be working again on a regular basis. I hope they get it Nashville.

Went back and added some of the liner notes. See my post above as edited.

When I bought this CD from Amazon, they talked me into buying a CD that was compiled from two of Gene's early LPs. An excellent CD!
It has some of Gene's earliest recordings, and truthfully, he sounded the same way back then as he does now. (He looks a little different though!) But then don't we all.
