Description

I have no idea who Hux is but if they continue issuing compilations such as this one, I will become a big fan of theirs. While Gene Watson continues to be an excellent performer and recording artist,for my money his best recordings and most interesting songs were recorded for Capitol in the mid 1970s. This two-fer features Gene's first album LOVE IN THE HOT AFTERNOON and his 3rd album PAPER ROSIE.

LOVE IN THE HOT AFTERNOON features the title cut (originally a Resco single, which was deemed too risque by a few radio stations plus one of my favorite Gene Watson singles "You Could Know As Muchmore… About a Stranger" and his first chart entry "Bad Water". The covers selected, particularly "This Is My Week For Mexico" (an album cut for Charley Pride) are also effective.

PAPER ROSIE isn't quite as strong but it too is worth five stars. "Paper Rosie is a story song with a feel and sound similar to another of his singles "The Old Man and His Horn", although not quite as compelling a story. Actually I love all the tracks on this CD except for his cover of "You Gave Me a Mountain, an overly melodratic song (written by Marty Robbins and a hit the writer and a bigger hit for Frankie Laine)that I've always hated. You can never really go wrong buying a Gene Watson collection, and his Capitol recordings are all 5 star endeavors
