Aaron Watson isn't interested in what someone else thinks he should do. But instead of getting lonely as he sidesteps expectations, he's gaining followers--hundreds of thousands of them. Delivered with a warm smile and fueled by a wild spirit, Watson's rebellion echoes the land that helped make him.
Watson remains strikingly similar to the people that still dot his native West Texas. They're a rugged people, proud of home but humble and hardworking, the first to help a neighbor but also fiercely independent. And Watson is unquestionably one of them. "I've always considered myself an anti-rock star," Watson says, his drawl cracking slightly as he grins. "People don't like me because I'm a rock star. People like me because I'm just like them."
Throughout his 17-year career that spans a dozen albums and more than 2,500 shows throughout the U.S. and Europe, 39-year-old Watson has stubbornly and sincerely identified with the everyman--even as he's proven to be the exception to the rule.
