    He was accompanied by two other legends, Ricky Skaggs a multi-Grammy winning bluegrass musician, and Patty Loveless, recently inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Patty is also well worth reacting to, Vince and Patty often sang back up for one another, their voices blend beautifully. Vince also did a duet of I Will Always Love You with Dolly Parton in the mid 90s after Whitney's cover. George Jones gave Vince the nickname Sweet Pea and always called him that.

    Vince has the voice of an angel & his guitar playing is extraordinary. He has a ton of beautiful songs, several duets with famous gals like Reba McEntire (A heart won't lie) & Patty Loveless who is singing on this one & 'When I call your name' as well. However, his collaboration with Carrie Underwood will make you cry, it's so beautiful. 'How great thou art" He only sings backup on that one, but his harmonies & his guitar solo is breathtaking & Carrie will shock you with her amazing performance. Literally AWESOME & you can see it live at a country award show! As for this performance? I have heard it at dozens of funerals & it is always moving. It is heart breaking and gives peace at the same time. Such a special song.

    He first started writing this song when his friend, country singer Keith Whitley, died young from alcoholism. Some of the lyrics (no stranger to the rain) reference Keith's songs. He finished writing the song after his brother died.
    My mother was mentally ill. I feel the song really reflects one's ambivalent feelings when a loved one who struggled a lot in life passes away. You miss them, but at the same time you are glad they can finally rest. I felt that way when Mom passed.

      ​@@jmiltier-pu9dd she was correct. He started writing the song in 1989 after the death of Keith Whitley. He finished it in 1993 after the death of his older brother. There is also an unrecorded 3rd verse to the song that he will sometimes play live in concert.

    I worked for a stagehand group back in the 1980s. Vince Gill was opening for Reba. She had 18 tractor trailers to load and unload packed full of things like mini airplanes, cars and everything heavy she could find to take on the damn tour. We were resting when Vince came through the back entrance. He shook all of our hands and thanked us for our hard work. Nicest celebrity I’ve ever met.

    Every time I hear the line "when they hear your sweet voice sing" I break.... My dad sang music all of his short life, gospel and real classic country music. At the age of 42, he chose the songs to be played at his funeral. Including a couple of his own, Vern Gosdin, and one of his favorites.... Gene Watson's "Farewell Party".... songs that now, more than 36 years later, I can still barely listen to....

    My husband died in 2008 and I had them play this song at his funeral. In 2008 I attended four funerals and this song was played at three of them. I believe Go Rest High has become the number one song played at funerals, taking the position formerly held by Amazing Grace. It sounds like you think a ballad can't be country but that is not true. Many country songs are ballads. BTW, you can't really get much more country than Vince Gill or Patty Loveless or Ricky Skaggs who are the two artists who are singing harmony with Vince on this song. Patty also sings harmony with Vince on "When I Call Your Name" which is another ballad and is another beautiful country song.
    Dolly Parton has a song called "Down from Dover", which, incidentally is another ballad and another country song, and years after she released it she added another verse. The verse she added makes a HUGE difference to the song and makes it much better but it is difficult to find the song with that extra verse in it. The only place I have been able to find the additional verse is on the album that has a black and white cover with Dolly sitting sideways in a chair with one arm hooked over the back of the chair. I think the song was initially written back in the late 60's or early 70's and the extra verse was not added until she re-released it on this album in 2001, so for approximately 40 years it did not have the additional verse so when Vince added to Go Rest High it was not the first time this had been done.

    He actually wrote a 3rd verse to the song on 2019 because he said it never seems whole to him. There is only one video of him singing it with the third verse (that I’ve found anyway) and it’s not the greatest quality because it’s recorded from cell phone but you can understand the verse for the most part.

    Ricky Skaggs is who you think of when you hear the words Bluegrass Music mentioned.
    I think Vince Gill plays the Grand Old Opry in Nashville a lot now.
    I wish you had listened to the version with Allison Krauss and Skaggs he sang live at the Opry but I do realize that you picked the official version of the song.
