"I'm one of Dale's biggest fans - I enjoy all his records and think he's great. I think there's a great deal of similarity between Dale and Waylon and myself...Kris and all the guys who just want to play their music and not have to go through all the bullshit. Dale stays true to what he believes in...whatever they say made me and Waylon 'Outlaws,' I think he's the same...if WE were, HE is." ..Willie Nelson |

"...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 |
