Thomas Watson

Gene Watson emerged in the mid-'70s as the heir to the kind of straight-ahead hard Texas country pioneered in the '50s and '60s by George Jones and Ray Price. Like such peers as Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley, Watson updated the old-fashioned sound with lyrical and musical tweaks, so his hits conformed to the country airwaves of the '70s while still sounding of piece with the tried-and-true Texas tradition. Watson's first big hit arrived in 1975 when "Love in the Hot Afternoon" reached number three on Billboard's Country charts. For the next decade, he was a fixture in the Top 10, gradually coming to rely on ballads instead of two-steps. Watson's star began to fade as the '80s came to a close, but he never stopped working: He continued to record and perform into the 2010s.

Two friends, two days, two studios – one soundscape. The result: two new tracks and eight remixes with a distinctive intersection of Setsuna and Thomas Lemmer.
Thomas and Erik got to know each other being signed to Sine Music and already having produced remixes of each other’s music. Liking the releases of the other, the wish to produce together arose quickly. The time came in autumn of 2014. Thomas and Erik met once in Hamburg and once in Osnabrück, each time locked themselves up in each studio for one day and agreed not leave until the track was completed.
