Kathy Coleman interviews Dale WatsonJUNE 2007 Kathy: So, how was it, working on your music in Johnny Cash's cabin?
Dale Watson: If it was in my head or just a feeling, it was magical just for the fact that Johnny Cash was once there.
Kathy:You've never been derivative of anyone else, but your music has always shown evidence of your influences. How do you feel this disc, From The Cradle To The Grave," shows more of that with Cash's influence?

From The Cradle To The Grave
Hyena To listen to radio, one might surmise country music has been castrated, watered-down to that insipid lowest common denominator. But as nearly any thinking person knows, mainstream radio sucks Midas mufflers, and just like rock& roll did in the late 1970s (those “punks” or “new wavers”), country has its underground scene, partisans working beneath the radar.

"From the Cradle to the Grave"
Dale Watson
HYENA Records Dale Watson, perhaps due to lack of competition as much as his own single-minded devotion to the cause, is assuming Johnny Cash's role as the conscience of country music.

Motif MagazineJUNE 2007[dale watson - from the cradle to the grave] The spirit of Johnny Cash, not to mention a dollop of Hag, loom largely over the latest release from Austin honky tonker Dale Watson in From The Cradle To The Grave. Recorded in the Tennessee mountain cabin once owned by the Man in Black (and now owned by Watson pal Johnny Knoxville), Mr. Too-Country-for-Country-Radio serves up a 10-song collection of "Ameripolitan" that plumbs the depths of the C&W song...

The Times of Acadiana (Lafayette, LA)JUNE 20, 2007 Dale Watson: From the Cradle to the Grave (Hyena) -- Like the "Hollywood Hillbilly" about whom he sings in the song of the same name, Watson's stereo almost certainly "blar[es] Willie, Johnny Cash and Hank and Lefty," and like his heroes Watson specializes in tiptoeing right up to the razor wire between common-man profundity and common-sap corn without stepping in the fertilizer. Warning: His tradition-soaked voice (Cas... MORE
