From The Cradle
To The Grave
"...the kind of stuff
country music legends are made of..." - Austin Chronicle
"...heir to the
throne." - The
Absolute Sound
"On From the Cradle to the Grave,
Dale Watson combines Bakersfield
filigree and basic country stomp for a record of terse, elegant fatalism."
- American Songwriter
At turns philosophical, playful,
fatalistic and scarred, Watson is as country as country can be, no matter what
he's calling his music now." - No
Depression
"The results on From The Cradle To The Grave are
striking." - Harp
Magazine
"From The Cradle To The Grave
draws on the spirit of Johnny Cash--not just in its earnestness, but in its
affability." - Performing
Songwriter
"Believe me: when Dale
Watson sings something, it stays sung...it's kinda difficult to argue with a
man who sounds like God." - PopMatters.com
"...honky-tonk songs that
look back to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, with fiddle and pedal steel guitar
to ease the music onto the dance floor." – The New York Times
"Dale Watson writes songs
that wouldn't sound out of place on one of Johnny Cash's best albums -- songs
that will endure...addressing matters of life and death, truth and justice,
loss and longing in a voice that rings -- make that, rumbles -- with conviction."
- The Washington Post
"Dale Watson makes country
music the old-fashioned way, cradling his strong baritone voice with weeping
steel guitar and fiddle as he spins yarns of love and death." - Boston Phoenix
"Thanks to Dale's
enduring and brave 25-year career and to this album, to paraphrase the late,
Great Mark Twain, the rumors of country music's death has been greatly
exaggerated."
- Twang Nation
"...themes of personal angst, honor and
redemption are what makes Watson's brand of country such a gratifying
experience." - Country
Standard Time

Dwight Yoakam, Dale and Owen Wilson.

Hey yall,
Lot's of stuff going on to tell you about so I'll keep
this email nice and short. First off, thank you all for
supporting the live shows, especially the folks of
Austin who I'm amazed and how often you get out to the
many shows we do here. With that said , we've added a
new night to the line up, by request. Now every
Wednesday we play the world famous Broken Spoke. Not
only that, but it will be lowest cover in town at $5.
This Wednesday will be the very first one, so if you can
make it please come by for the kick off.
Next , I'd like to share an announcement from my record
company Hyena Records:
Hey DALE WATSON Fans...
We've got some good news. Dale's video for "Justice For
All" has been nominated by the CMT Music Awards for
"Supporting Character of the Year" thanks to the role
played by James Denton (who many of you know and love
from Desperate Housewives). And his video for "Hollywood
Hillbilly" starring and directed by Johnny Knoxville,
has been nominated for "Comedy Video of the Year."
Here's where you come in. We need your help. The CMT
Music Awards are open to the public for voting. Please

Thanks for supporting the real thing!!!
HYENA Records
Thank you Hyena Record folks for constantly trying to
kick down that door.
And lastly, some may already know about the MTV 24 hour
Takeover that Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass guys are
doing, and we have a date now for the rescheduled show.
For those who don't know, Johnny has invited me to
perform Hollywood Hillbilly during his takeover. Quite
an honor for me.
FEBRUARY 23rd to 24th will be the LIVE Takeover, from
noon to noon. We will update the website ASAP when we
find out an exact time frame for our performance. We
also will try to reschedule the New York City Shows that
we had planned since we are going to be in the big Apple
Feb 23 and 24th.
That's a fast blast of news. Please vote if you're so

News Update September
September - 7 - 2007
Hi Yall,
lots of things to inform yall about. First, thank yall
for voting on the"Justice For All" video on CMT Pure
Country to get it to number one. The new video "
Hollywood Hillbilly" will hopefully follow in it's
footprints and maybe make it to the main channels. It's
tough for our type of music in the music world today and
yall are the ones that make us or break us. In the
meantime you can see both videos on my website
www.dalewatson.com/media.htm
Most of you know that the song was written about Johnny
Knoxville, so he directed and stars in the video
Hollywood Hillbilly. We even have a cameo appearance
from Johnny's buddy Luke Wilson. Give it a peek and let
me know whatcha think.
I'd like to thank the folks that supported the shows in
the South and Mid-West and Colorado this last tour. The
shows went great and it positions us to come back as
soon as possible. When I get back home September 10th
I'll be playing in Texas , but only long enough to gear
up for the European Tour. It will be different this time
in the way that I'm only bringing a guitar player and an
upright Bassist. But.... The guitar player is Redd
Volkeart and his Bassist Nate Rowe. I'll be playing
Acoustic guitar. It will be different and will focus on
the new CD " From The Cradle To The Grave". We'll hit
some of the old stomping grounds as well as some new
venues in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland and
England.
It will be a different show, but I know just as fun with
that psycho Redd Volkeart. Here are the European Tour

2 new shows that may interest some folks are the Tuesday
night 7 to 10 " SwingThang" I put together at The
Belmont in Austin. It features a horn section, piano,
bass, drums and me on guitar / vocals and it's Dean Bob
Sinatra with some swinging Originals thrown in along the
way. With that same band I'll play a monthly "date"

Update.. The Little Darlin sessions
April - 22 - 2007
The Little Darling CD was never finished ( we cut a lot of songs but never were given the chance to correct mistakes or overdub background vocals or anything else.) i.e. We were given one run through and that was it. They wouldn't allow any of my originals and that result is tandem to me doing Karaoke on Little Darling songs. A couple of the songs I begged not to have to sing as I really did not like them. In that regard it really was Nashville 1966. KOCH is releasing it under protest of me and Lloyd Green. They are basically unfinished roughs. We offered to go in for free and fix the record but they were done spending anything on it. I plan on the next record to be with Lloyd and the guys again but with me and Lloyd producing, and with a lot of my new originals. The next Hyena release will be the monumental record of legendary musicians meeting new originals thus being the record that the Little Darling Sessions failed to be. To those of you that choose to buy the record, please give a sympathetic ear to my vocals and the musicians playing. Many of these recordings were run throughs. It's is not the record we thought we were making. That said, it was a joy to work with these legendary pickers and look forward to recording the next record with them.
Sincerely,
Dale
