For This Duet, "Staying Together" Is Worth It
Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent's duet, "Staying Together," lets you eavesdrop on a tender moment between these two loveless lovers. Their reasons for staying together are not for their own hearts but rather for the family. Consequently they're left to wrestle heavy hearts weighed down by the baggage, sorrow and pain of a love that's long expired. You can see the sadness in Watson's eyes and hear it in his seamless vocals. Vincent, too, thrills with her powerful voice as she proves mighty convincing with each evocative note. Even the steel guitar weeps for these two unfortunate souls. I suppose when it comes to a true heartbreaker of a country song, in their own words, "There ain't nothin' sadder, there ain't nothin' colder."

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for playing the GREAT music of Gene Watson. It is SO good to FINALLY be able to hear some TRUE TRADITIONAL COUNTRY music on your channel. I think Gene is the best singer out there and deserves all of the attention he can get.
PLEASE keep on playing GENE WATSON!!!!

Found this video one night while looking for new music. Awesome stuff. From what I have heard from his new album, he understands completely what Country music should be.
True Country music is right here under every person’s nose who come to this blog site, yet how many of those who come here complaining all the time about what has happened to Country music, will take the time to even read this blog or make an effort to check Gene’s music out?

What a beautiful song, video and review. I have heard of Gene Watson, but really never listened to his music. The two sing such a true country music that it fills my tank up. Thanks to you Whitney for bring this one to us.

STILL Loving this Video!!! Thank you CMT for giving us traditional country music lovers something to enjoy. Not to take away from the younger generation (Taylor Swift etc) doing what they do but it’s not the same as music like Gene Watson makes. THere’s real vocal ability here that needs no fancy dance moves. Just raw emotion in their voices and I miss hearing that.
