I love this album! All 4 albums in this collection are outstanding! He is a favorite artist of mine. I love his girl, Amy Grant!! My favorite female singer. Sure wish someone could post the clip of him playing the song "Whenever you come around" on the Oprah show last years Christmas special. Amy and him are on their and it is such a beautiful performance. You see him well up and the emotion and connection between the two of them is mgical. Let me know if you post in a message. I will watch!
I saw Vince perform his acoustic set in Cincinnati recently. Vince was on my list of concerts to see...and he did not disappoint! Besides being a world-class musician, this man played the audience in Cincinnati as well as he did his Martin guitar! He is a tremendous performer! The format encouraged the audience to shout out requests. As is often the case, some took advantage. With a mixture of humor and cleverness, Vince got the show back on track effortlessly. Man, what a show!!!
Many, many talented players wait and hope for those calls that will inspire and validate and ease the suffering of wanting so bad to be recognized for what they do. Most of us will never get those phone calls.Sad but true.
@KissMyTulip Totally!!! He can sing with anyone, he is an amazing musician, great songwriter: A talented man!!! That is so cool he got to play with Eric Clapton!! He is coming to my hometown of Ft. Myers for Christmas!!!
Man, that is so revealing. I think a lot of people look at Vince as just this "pretty face" that sings incredible country songs, but let's not forget that (in my mind at least) he's one of the most incredible country guitar players of all time. I'm a musician myself, and, feeling like you can still play guitar or "your instrument" is important to a musician, in my eyes. I think that may be kind of what he's talking about. Marc Trainor.
Nice story. It's wonderful hear about the good people out there in the entertainment world.
I've always known that Vince was a great; singer, songwriter, country/rock guitar player, but I just saw an older video of him playing the blues, and Wow, he's terrific at the blues too.
Vince is a talented musician, and somewhere along the way got side-tracked. That call from Clapton I hope brings out the musician in him in future releases. He's one of the best out there today!
Vince, aside from being a hell of a musician, you have the regular "Joe" precence with your easy going attitude and extreamly great sense of humor. I have all the respect for abilities and I think your a Top Class musician, person & perfomer.
Hard to believe to believe that a picker like this could lose confidence as a musician.. that's a real eye-opener. Most folks don't realize what a great player this guy is.
Been a Vince gill fan since age 3 and will always will be he is the man

Vince Gill...A truly amazing and gifted musician. Awesome on the guitar...Blown away both times I have seen him live in concert.
He's so down to earth and he's fun...
