I saw him at a small club. After the concert, he was selling merchandise. I waited until the end & went & talked with him for about 30 minutes. Nicest guy in the world.
Please accept my sincere apologies. I thought you were saying that DALE'S music wasn't Country. Communication is the key, I guess. My music, Dale's music and a few others is simply and attempt to CARRY ON the philosophy of Waylon and a few others. Waylon DID hate the name "Outlaw", but I like it because it sort of puts me in the same category as my dear friend.
where are the guys in $700 designer jeans getting manicures backstage telling a reporter how they're outlaws just like waylon because of their pop songs (that have the same laundry list lyrics as every other pop song) that trash pop songs and act like frat boys.
now THAT'S country!!!!
now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go sit on a tailgate and have a cold beer on a dirt road and eat corn bread with guys who are just like me because I'm from a small town etc. FUCK.
@TheOriginalShredneck It would seem that you didn't really listen to the WORDS of the song, and it's damn obvious you don't know a damn thing about Dale Watson. He buys his jeans the same place I buy mine, and I can assure you they don't cost anywhere near $700. I guess it's a fact that when a singer actually has the balls to tell the truth in a song, it's gonna piss off SOMEBODY........usually those that don't know the truth if it jumped up and slapped 'em in the face.
@TheOriginalShredneck And if sittin' on a tailgate, eatin' cornbread and drinkin' cold beer makes one an "Outlaw", I am probably WAY ahead of you there. Waylon was a friend of mine, (and Dale's), but just being his friend doesn't make us "like" him. We are Outlaws because of the philosophy described in Dale's song, (and many of mine, Waylon's, Willie's, Ray Scott's and several others). Oh, and please keep in mind there is a big difference in "profanity", and "colorful language".
@CountryDivo besides my comment can (I think) be summed up pretty well by a couple of lines in this song "they took the soul out of what means a whole lot to me" and "...I can see hank and lefty, they're spinnin' around in their grave and if they were here today I think you know what they'd say..."
@TheOriginalShredneck What's wrong with sitting on a tailgate having a cold beer on a dirt road in a small town? Nothing wrong with that. Of course,many pop country singers put on a cowboy hat and drive down a country road ONE TIME because they got lost on the highway and they automatically think they're country and can say who is and isn't. Most of them do what they preach against.
@TheOriginalShredneck Yeah. It really sucks to turn on the radio to a "country" station and maybe hearing a few good country songs but most of them being taylor Swift,Jason Aldean(fake pretty boy),Lady Antebellum,and the lot.
garth brooks is alright. but he has too many lights and gizmos. kenny chesney started out alright but he goin down hill.. shania twain might as well have went dubstep. but dale watson...hes real country
Garth, Jason and Kenny, are not Country at all, the radio is the only ones calling it Country, those who know what Real Country music is, knows those three are also, COUNTRY MY ASS
ok..i agree on shania and taylor...but garth is real country..he rights his own music and is a true country boy...and kenny is awesome...jason is real good too...if you are gonna put someone down...do it to sugarlands latest crap,taylor,the band perry,and those artist who have all the pop in there music and know nothing about steel guitars,fiddles,and good old twang and drinking songs...but i praise gretchen,zac brown,kenny,toby,george strait and jones,and the best out there today,jamey johnson!
Im going to do my best to get dale on the local radio at the noontime requests... Maybe the odd listener could snap out of this taylor shit and carrie nogood fanatic mindset.
Wow! So funny and so true! An amazing artist. I'm young yet I understand where you are coming from. Country music has gone to the dogs. Thanks for keeping real music alive and proving a real point in the process. Beautiful.
Dale has been a friend of me and my family for almost 30 years...first heard him play at swinging doors bar in pasadena Tx and have loved his music ever since
Good music and sure gives the low down on Pop Country!

@CountryDivo "don't know the truth if it jumped up and slapped 'em in the face"
if you don't realize what i was doing with that (satirical) comment you're pretty damn stupid.
waylon is my favorite below hank (he hated the outlaw title btw)
when people say country music is dead I always say country ain't dead, guys like dale watson and wayne hancock are keeping it on life support
for the "outlaw" thing this is a good read
