- Those familiar with Vince Gill’s music know how broad his musical reach is – country, jazz and rock have all contributed to his eclectic sound. Still, even a committed fan might’ve been surprised by the creative ambition displayed on his 2006 release These Days. A four-disc helping of new recordings is a rarity, not to mention a risky career move. What serves to unite these lovingly-rendered tunes is the warmth of Gill’s high-tenor voice and the inspired craftsmanship of his writing. With albums devoted to uptempo rock, romantic balladry, honky-tonk country and acoustic bluegrass/folk, These Days covers a lot of ground, and Gill makes the journey flow whether he’s kicking up dust on rockers like “Sweet Thing,” delving into barroom pathos with “This New Heartache” or invoking Appalachian memories on “Cold Grey Light Of Dawn.” The ballads disc is especially strong, pairing Gill with such duet partners as Emmylou Harris (“Some Things Never Get Old”) and Diana Krall (“Faint Of Heart”). Making his creative risks pay off, Gill turns These Days into a celebration of American music itself.

- Vince Gill’s career momentum built slowly in the early 1980s, picked up speed towards the end of the decade and hit high gear as the ‘90s began. But it took 1992’s I Still Believe In You to secure the singer/songwriter’s status among country music’s immortals. Gill sticks to what he does best here, applying his manly-yet-vulnerable high tenor vocals to a range of emotionally honest songs rooted in everything from Appalachian folk to urbane R&B. The fact that he could top the singles charts with tunes as radically different as “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away” (a smooth country-pop tune), “One More Last Chance” (a rollicking honky-tonk number) and “Tryin’ To Get Over You” (a mournful lost-love ballad) speaks volumes about Vince’s talent. I Still Believe In You’s title track earned this album a fourth Number One and may be its best song overall – rising to its yearning chorus, Gill rivals Roy Orbison for sheer romantic pathos. Among the lesser-known album tracks, “Pretty Words” sparkles in an L.A. country-rock mode, while “Say Hello” has the deep-bodied twang of a classic barroom weeper. And Gill handles it all with humility and charm on this outstanding album.
- After a five-year climb, Vince Gill became a full-blown country star with When I Call Your Name. Working a honeyed tenor that could melt stone, he packs plenty of passion into a set of mostly self-penned songs (featuring assists from all-star co-writers like Guy Clark and Rosanne Cash). While Gill can kick out rockers with authority (“Ridin’ the Rodeo”), it’s the ballads that made his name; just try to keep those eyes dry throughout the title track.
