In his first Nashville show in more than four years, vocal wonder Gene Watson played to a full and enthusiastic house Sunday night (Jan. 29) at the 3rd & Lindsley night club. Backing him was his five-piece Farewell Party Band.

Since his new album includes no song by that title, it seems relevant to ask Josh Gracin why he named it Redemption. Who or what is being redeemed?
