Vince Gill's Latest Release...4 CDs, 43 songs with

immense character. A phenomenal effort from this genuine Country & Western artist. From one early listen, I can easily say...there is something on this release for everyone: (1) true C&W in the spirit of Merle, George, Chet, Hank Sr; (2) Beautiful ballads, outstanding duets with gifted female artists (Trisha Yearwood; Emmylou; Bonnie Raitt; Alison Krauss); (3) Rock 'n' roll that is better than alot of the stuff that has been released lately; and (4) True-to-its roots bluegrass. And, yes, I am cheating...no vinyl release yet so I am spinning one of those little silver discs.

Yep, 4 discs, 43 songs for less than 20 clams. Well done, VG!

Highly recommended.

I was of the same mindset as you until I saw him in concert last week and he explained the background on this 4-CD release. He originally wrote all the songs for a one-LP release. But, that is where fate takes over. There is more to the story here:

I am grateful that his label supported the release of all the songs. If it was a scenario of a few good songs and alot of filler, that would be one thing. However, there isn't a bad apple in the bunch. How many single CD, 10-song releases can we say that about lately?

And, these songs sounded phenomenal "live" at the Meyerson Symphony Center.

Best,
Mary
