Vince is as country as it gets! His voice is the best voice in all of country music! If you want your heart absolutely shredded, try watching Vince and Patty Loveless sing Go Rest High on That Mountain at George Jones memorial! You'll never be the same. Vince wrote that country standard
Vince Gill is the man. But, tearjerker? He wrote that song when his brother passed away. Also, look him up! He was an 80's Billboard baby. He was the single German for 'Let Me Love You Tonight' with Pure Prairie League! He also joined the Eagles when Glenn Frey passed. Had MANY MANY hits over the years. Very popular since late 80's and 90's. He's had 60 or 70 hits on the charts and 7 #1 hits. Great guy!!❤
Not yet! BP needs to learn about George Jones (Vince's mentor/brother) before he can truly appreciate that song. Vince started writing that song when Keith Whitley died but couldn't continue. He wrote the rest when George Jones died. They were so close . : (
Vince Gill is upper-echelon, top-tier country music. Among the best country guitarists ever, millions in record sales. And, now he plays with The Eagles.
"Go rest high on that Mountain" is so so emotional and good. A tribute to his brother. Vince feels like gospel country to me. love the 90's country you are checking out.
Hey man you talking about sad try Vince Gill, singing "GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN" a song he started writing when his good friend country singer Keith Whitley, died and didn't finish it until his own brother passed away a beautiful but really sad and touching song please react to this request. Thanks
Vince is from Norman, Oklahoma. Vince is fabulous guitar player up there with the best. Mentored by Chet Atkins. He's country, gospel, and bluegrass, he was with Pure Prairie League before country. Best eyelashes and smile anywhere.
Actually, that’s only partially correct. He also grew up in Columbus Ohio. His dad was on the bench in Columbus. He was a judge. His family lived next to my in-laws in Columbus, Ohio. I think he was born in Norman, Oklahoma if I remember correctly, and then they came to Ohio. Had to be because in 1994 I went before his dad in court, I was establishing child support. Anyway, that’s maybe too much information but but yes I do realize they were from Oklahoma. Wanted to make sure that everybody knew that actually really started out in Columbus Ohio. Have a great weekend.❤
@@LibraAllWoman I hear you, those eye lashes just blow me away! My two sons both have long eye lashes, but Vince's must be close to an inch long (bit of an exaggeration I guess). He's such an amazing talent, and a super nice man!
For people who don't know, Vince is an underrated guitar player. After the Pure Prairie League, he was offered the lead guitar position in Dire Straits. And now he's the lead guitar in the Eagles. The man has talent upon talent.
Vince is an absolute legend in the music industry! He also has a reputation as a genuinely humble & nice person. His rabbit hole is deep. He's won a lot of awards & is a great guitarist. Has some funny stuff too. Believe it was the incomparable Patty Lovelace singing background on this song. She's also a OG. Love her You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. ❤❤❤
He was actually a studio musician before that, he was actually well known, pure prairie League had to convince him to come. But he was there for a couple years and put out a couple of albums with them they were great
In high school in Oklahoma City he played with a bluegrass band locally called Mountain Smoke. A friend grew up across the street from him and his older brothers went to Northwest Classen HS with Vince.
I drove a truck 20 years ago when I was in my 20s I’m a small female but I had a wonderful co driver he was my best friend. One day I could not talk because I had a very sore throat but I was driving and this song came on the radio and when Vince Gill said nobody answers when I call her name, my friend said nobody answers when I call her and she’s right beside me. He’s been gone for about 10 years and I miss him.
@@rebeccacurtis6680 Yes she does. She has the soulful sound of the Appalachian mountain people. Because she is one. She was born and raised in the mountains of KY. Her father worked in the coal mines and eventually died of the black lung that many of the miners suffered from.
Vince Gill is an absolute icon in Country Music because of his beautiful tenor voice, his songwriting and masterful guitar playing. Go Rest High On That Mountain, that he wrote when his older brother died of a heart attack, will wrench your soul from your body! He’s also a scratch golfer, was good friends with Arnold Palmer and had the whole service in tears as he sang this song. You’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg where Vince Gill is concerned, you’ve just extended your work week by many hours lol!
@@kyla1756 Vince is my favorite of all time country artists. I saw him twice with concerts. My Mom and Brother saw him in York, PA once and talked with him!! But, WOW!!!! You probably hold the record for concert attendance!!! So glad you love him too🫶 Have a great day 😁
One of the best singers in country music. Go rest high on that mountain is incredible. I believe he wrote it for his late brother. Vince is currently touring and playing with the Eagles. None like him, you know it's him as soon as you hear his voice.
Hey Pegasus! Great reaction! You're diving deep in that country now! Vince Gill! One of my faves! I'm in the Appalachian part of the country and you getting down deep into our bluegrass soul! He seems one of the hardest songs for me to watch him sing, but it is amazing song he wrote for his brother. You have to watch the live one with Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless add a memorial for Keith Whitley another country artist after he passed. I will be very surprised if you get through it without crying. And at the I think it was the country music awards when he did the guitar playing and Carrie Underwood saying How Great Thou Art is one of the absolute best performances ever! Keep up the great work!❤🙏❤️👍
You should definitely play "Go Rest High On That Mountain" with Vince, Patty Loveless (singing back-up here) & Ricky Skaggs. There's also a version with Vince, Ricky & Alison Krauss. It's just gorgeous. Another iconic song is Patty Loveless singing "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" - live 2011.
I love Vince! There is not a voice like his in country anymore! He is singing with the Eagles (since the passing of Glen Fry) He is one of the most sotafter duets partners. Great rabbit hole to go down
The lady singing with him is Patty Loveless. She is also a wonderful singer. You should check out her live performance of You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. It's amazing. And anything that Vince does is worth a listen.
My Favorite song by him is a song he did before he went country, he was in a band called Pure Prairie league and is Called Amiee, excellent Guitar player as well.
"Go Rest High" is def a must and will bring you to tears.... HOWEVER go listen to one of his fun ones too like "One More Last Chance" - AMAZING SINGER AND GUITARIST
The female vocalist on this one is Patty Loveless. She has a song that is about a similar situation, but has a little bit of a twist to it. You should check it out. It is called "You Don't Even Know Who I Am." Both Patty and Vince have been singing together for years. Each has their own rabbit hole to explore.
I saw Vince in concert several years ago. Vince and his band played for about 90 minutes and then the band took a 25 minute break while Vince sat for that time singing and playing his acoustic guitar. The band came back and they played for another 90 minutes or so. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
I could sit for hours just listening to Vince Gill play piano or guitar. When he played a state fair. he got news that his father had died. As he told the audience why he had to leave, the audience started singing ""Go Rest High On That Mountain. Vince is loved by literally millions of people.
Vince is pure Blue Grass. It hurts every time i watch the video of Vince Gill at George Jones' funeral with Patty loveless.(Go Rest On The Mountain. Vince wrote this song for his brother.
This was Vince Gill's breakout in country radio. He is best known for his ballads. He is also one heck of a guitar player. He started writing a song called GO Rest High on That Mountain when Kieth Whitley passed away and finished it when his brother passed away. It tugs at your heart strings but is worth a listen.
One of the best guitar pickers and a hell of a voice with 22 Grammy awards to prove it actually Vince at one point got a call from mark Knopfler asking him to join dire Straits but he declined lately he's been touring as part of the Eagles,
I normally reserve the adjective "angelic" for female voices, but that best describes Vince's voice. And it pairs so well with Patty Lovelace. Vince's "Go Rest High On That Mountain" is a must with her and Ricky Skaggs. (Note: Vince was asked to join Eagles after Glenn Frye passed.) As for George Strait & Alan Jackson - "Murder On Music Row" live is a MUST.
From what I remember he was very very shy and only played the backup music and vocals for a long time. He got through it and did his singing career and hosted many country award shows. One of the best voices ever
Dude was in pure prairie league back in the day. Vince is a legend. Lot of people saying “go rest high on that mountain “. Great song but check out “ when ever come around “
Besides being a fabulous writer and singer, he has to be the most humble person I have met. I met him when his wife gifted him a home putting green, that my nephew's company was installing at his home. When he came up to me, I greeted him as Mr. Gill, and his reaction was to put his hand out for me to shake and said, call me Vinny. He is a National Treasure
Thank you for bringing new discoveries to your channel. Vince is one of the best and is recognized as one of the greatest musicians and he also does a lot of work with other entertainers like Patty Loveless. Patty Loveless is a beautiful woman with an extraordinary voice. Her songs tell a story. She is the daughter of a coal miner and no song displays her talents like "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" Check out this live version for the ultimate story telling and just take in her pure voice. There are several live versions and they are FIRE especially the one at Austin City
Vince Gill was the host of the CMA Country Awards until the year they move the awards from Nashville to Los Angeles. He protested the awards being held in LA.
Dwight Yokam is another legend that you should check out. Long White Cadillac, Guitars Cadillacs, Streets of Bakersfield, This Time, Lonesome Roads...lots of whiskey was drank to those hits. Some blown speakers at 2 AM, too!
Before I rec some Vince Gill songs I want to recommend you listen to 4x Platinum artist Patty Loveless singing backup here. Her song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" will slay you. Vince Gill can play and sing anything. He's definitely a country guy, and while he was a big star in the 90s Country boom he is huge fan of the subgenres like Western Swing and the High Lonesome Sound so he has quite an eclectic songbook. He's known as much for his musicianship as his singing and songwriting. Lately he's been touring with The Eagles as a stand-in for the late Glenn Frey. Try "Liza Jane", "Take Your Memory With You", "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away", and his iconic "Go Rest High on That Mountain".
Vince was tops late 80’s into the 90’s and was asked along with Glenn Frey’s son Deacon took the place of Glenn after his death! Another tear jerker like this is Hello walls And yes the is pre swift type country!
Go Rest High On That Mountain is the best song by Vince in my opinion. He also sings a fun song called One More Last Chance - he spends too much time at the bar so the wife takes his car keys, but he says she forgot about his John Deer mower/tractor. On the same theme, Hank Williams Jr.’s song All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight has many celebs/singers in the video, one of which is George Jones who is shown driving the mower over to his house - probably a nod to his alcoholism. Also check out Chisled In Stone by Verne Gosden, since you liked He Stopped Loving Her Today by George. Check out Ricky Skaggs if you want to go down the Bluegrass rabbit hole. Happy watching!❤
Oklahoma has given us many musicians, Vince Gill among these. You need to watch the video of him performing the song Go Rest High On That Mountain at George Jones' memorial. They had a special relationship with George calling him Sweet Pea and Vince calling George Possum. It is hard to watch as Vince breaks down and Patty Loveless steps up to pull him through with the mourners led by Garth Brooks standing in support.
"Go Rest High on that Mountain "becoming one of the most requested songs for funerals. Recently it was played at my cousin's funeral. It's a must listen too.
He is the legend that the comments make him out to be. He was also the singing voice of Boomhauer on that episode of King of the Hill where he was singing Blue Moon of Kentucky, which has always been funny to me.
Vince is iconic. Lots of great suggestions here. I love One More Last Chance and Liza Jane a lot. Also, for pure fun, check out him doing “It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed your ass out all day long” by the Notorious Cherry Bombs (who are Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell as themselves and also in drag). Vince is a treasure.
Vince Gill has been touring with the Eagles for the past few years. He’s an amazing musician. He makes the guitar weep in Go Rest High and also with Carri Underwood on How Great Thou Art
I’ve seen Vince Gill live three times. He never disappoints! He has probably done more duets than anyone. This was Vince’s first big country hit after leaving Pure Prairie League. He’s now touring with The Eagles. He is also a top tier guitarist. Vince and Patty Loveless have some beautiful harmonies!
Vince Gill and his wife Amy Grant are awesome people in general, his wife Amy sings more gospel and Vince sings more country but together they are beautiful! ❤🙏🏻
You should check our "whenever you come around" and "go rest high on that mountain" from Vince Gill next!! And Patty Loveless is singing in the background here. Shes another great country woman you should check out! "You'll never leave Harlan alive" and "you don't even know who I am" from Patty Loveless!
Vince Gill is one of the best showmen there is! I can honestly say he puts on the best concerts! I saw him in San Diego in 1994 at his peak in popularity, and he played with his band for about 90 minutes! Then he came back for an encore with just him and his guitars in a half circle around him and proceeded to play another 8-9 songs! He also replaced Glen Frey in the Eagles after his death along with Glen's son Deacon! This song also showed you, in my opinion, one of the greatest unofficial country duets ever! The lady in the background is Patty Loveless, and they have sang together in about a dozen songs together split between each others albums! Vince Gill said in an interview that he loves to sing with his wife; Pop and Christian superstar Amy Grant, but Patty is his favorite singing partner! With harmonies like this, though, who could blame him!
Everybody's going to recommend you watching him perform "Go Rest High on that Mountain" at George Jones' funeral, but I strongly suggest against that performance as being your first time hearing the song. Your attention will be taken away from how beautiful the song is if you watch that one first. I don't want to spoil it, but it will make sense if you watch two different versions. The George Jones funeral performance is great for other reasons. And I would highly recommend watching the upload of that where he tells a funny story about George Jones before performing. They were close friends, and the legend George Jones had his own funny little nickname for Vince. He would call him "Sweat Pea".
He sang one of the best versions of the National Anthem that I’ve ever heard. It was at the Houston Fat Stock Show and Rodeo in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Just straight up put a knot in my throat! Probably even a tear or two. Big fan of Vince. He has a LOT of hits.
Vince Gill is a vocal and guitar playing legend. He was the guitarist/harmony singer in the Carrie Undewood reaction you did for "How Great Thou Art". He had an amazing solo a career and then joined the Eagles...ans currently tours with them. He's a legend!
I was a huge Vince Gill fan in the 1990s. Vince was one of the stars of country music in the 80s & 90s during what was known as a return to the more traditional sound of country. Vince can do it all: slow, sad ballads and fast rockers. He plays an amazing guitar as well, that he plays as if it's an extension of his singing voice. I see everyone mentioning "Go Rest High On That Mountain", which is a beautiful and sad song, but I'd like to recommend some others. There's "Look At Us" which a lovely song looking at a positive relationship. "Liza Jane" is a fast song and a lot of fun, as is "One More Last Chance".
Huge Vince Gill fan here, too, from the 90s. The man is a legend, and he writes a highly respected guitarist. He can sing em all fast and slow but there's no one like him to tug your heart strings in a ballad. His voice is so pure and sweet. Nobody answers when I call your name gets me but not because of a break up but thinking of going into a house like my sister or my parents when they passed away and that line just gets me. Look at us sums up my parents' marriage they nearly made it to 63 years. Dad passed, and Mum just 17 months later 'when they wanna see what true love should be they'll just look at us'. The very last song I played for my Dad who at almost 92 had just got Spotify was Together again. I saw Vince live truly amazing. 😢 CC
I used to have a nurse who was an acquaintance of Vince Gill’s and she said he had a hard time deciding whether to go with Bluegrass music or Country Music and he chose Country Music because it is more monetarily lucrative. He has helped out many other musicians who needed a hand up to make it big. He is married to Amy Grant who started out in Gospel music and is supposed to be a committed Christian singer still to this day and I hope that it is true. He has recorded several love songs for her and they are beautiful!
Vince Gill got his start in a rock band in the,70's called Pure Prairie Leage, the song "Amy" was a huge hit for them. He left the band and started his career in country music, and the rest is history. That is Patty Loveless singing back up for him on this song.
His career started as a member of the group "Pure Prairie League"... hits like "Aimee" and "Let Me Love You Tonight." His solo career has been nothing short of fantastic. Like many others have said, the song he wrote for his brother, (after his brother's passing,) and dedicated to Keith Whitley, after HIS passing... "Go Rest High On That Mountain," will break you. Guaranteed.... just knowing the meaning it has to him. There are 2 live performances.... one with Ricky Skaggs and Allison Krauss... and the one that breaks me, every time... performed with Patty Loveless, at the George Jones memorial, held at the Grand Ole Opry, after Jones' passing.
The first song I ever heard from Vince as a solo although he had been around with other groups (Pure Prairie League) for a while. This song is such a gut punch with his incredible voice, the harmonies from Patty Loveless, the steel guitar, the heartbreak. Has to be in the top tier of best country songs of all time. And BTW - in addition to that voice, he is by far one of the best guitar musicians still playing.
He is now touring with the Eagles singing Glen Frey’s leads. He is paying such a great tribute to Glen. Heard them this past year and they were fabulous!!
Vince first found fame as part of Pure Prairie League which did pop songs. He sings gospel and country but also does fill in with the Eagles. He is a multi-facited musician. He plays guitar with the best of them also.
Vince is as country as it gets! His voice is the best voice in all of country music! If you want your heart absolutely shredded, try watching Vince and Patty Loveless sing Go Rest High on That Mountain at George Jones memorial! You'll never be the same. Vince wrote that country standard
Vince Gill is the man. But, tearjerker? He wrote that song when his brother passed away. Also, look him up! He was an 80's Billboard baby. He was the single German for 'Let Me Love You Tonight' with Pure Prairie League! He also joined the Eagles when Glenn Frey passed. Had MANY MANY hits over the years. Very popular since late 80's and 90's. He's had 60 or 70 hits on the charts and 7 #1 hits. Great guy!!❤
I watch it with goosebumps every time!! no matter what!
Shred!!! Indeed😊
Watched it so many times. Tear up everytime
This version u need to see
"Go Rest High on that Mountain" is must hear from Vince Gill.
Live version with Ricky Skaggs and Alison Krauss
@@earlyheadabsolute best!
Not yet! BP needs to learn about George Jones (Vince's mentor/brother) before he can truly appreciate that song. Vince started writing that song when Keith Whitley died but couldn't continue. He wrote the rest when George Jones died. They were so close . : (
This is top tier sad. It's about his brother having passed away.
Speaking of Keith Whitley... Need BP to react to some of his stuff @@meaghanhoffmann5869
Vince Gill is upper-echelon, top-tier country music. Among the best country guitarists ever, millions in record sales. And, now he plays with The Eagles.
There will never be another Vince Gill
srsly he's with the Eagles ? that's Awesome
@@ToxicNyteShadeyeah. He is playing on their long goodbye tour.
@@normanfrye6436 That's Freaking Awesome I love the Eagles and Vince Gill Thank you for the information have a Blessed Day ❤🔥❤💞
Thanks so much for the down low about Vince playing with the Eagles now!
The backup singer is the legendary Patty Loveless. They sound so beautiful together and are still close friends to this day.
Patty!!! 👏👏👏👏
Patty is well worth a dive on her own. A very nice discography and she frequently backs Vince and vice versa as well.
She is as legendary as he is. Both are instantly recognizable.
They were on different labels so she wasn't recognized when they sang together . Happened often !
Thank you girl!
Vince is currently touring as a member of the Eagles. He was asked to join the band after the passing of Glen Frey.
I never heard this b4, can see why the Eagles wanted him to step into Glen Frey's very large shoes!
@blackpegasus check out Vince singing "Go Rest High on That Mountain. " It is great!
Phenomenal song! We played Go rest high on That mountain at my brother-in-law's funeral and at my husband's funeral beautiful song
the official version with Patty Lovelas and Ricky Skaggs
BP please do Go rest on that mountain. Vince wrote that song after his brother died. Truly the best.
@@tallestmountainYes 👍
Didn't he sing that @ George Jones' funeral?
The great Patty Loveless on harmony vocals. A tremendous talent in her own right.
I love Patty
"Go rest high on that Mountain" is so so emotional and good. A tribute to his brother. Vince feels like gospel country to me. love the 90's country you are checking out.

Vince Gill & Patty Loveless singing together is almost certainly what the angels will sound like when I get to the other side.
Vince Gill has one of the best voices in music, period.
He's one of the best country vocalists ever, with one of the greatest female vocalists ever singing harmony, Patty Loveless.
For people who don't know, Vince is an underrated guitar player. After the Pure Prairie League, he was offered the lead guitar position in Dire Straits. And now he's the lead guitar in the Eagles. The man has talent upon talent.
This!!!!
He is far from underrated in Nashville.EVERYONE knows how great he is. Great golfer too!

It is her vocals although not her on the video. She has always been one of my favorites.
@@leslielemon7257 Patti’s cover of You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive will make your hair stand up. Her voice is as excellent as Vince’s.
Vince Gill started with the Pure Prairie League, check out their song "Amie", love your reactions!

In high school in Oklahoma City he played with a bluegrass band locally called Mountain Smoke. A friend grew up across the street from him and his older brothers went to Northwest Classen HS with Vince.
Youve gone down the rabbit hole now! This guy is a master of the guitar, vocals, lyrics and every other damn musical thing.
I drove a truck 20 years ago when I was in my 20s I’m a small female but I had a wonderful co driver he was my best friend. One day I could not talk because I had a very sore throat but I was driving and this song came on the radio and when Vince Gill said nobody answers when I call her name, my friend said nobody answers when I call her and she’s right beside me. He’s been gone for about 10 years and I miss him.
He wrote “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, his voice is awesome!!
He is the man playing in the Carrie Underwood reaction “How Great Thou Art”
Definitely second this one!!!!
Came here to say this. His harmonizing with Carrie is perfect.
Definitely need to watch/this!
Amazing!
Also "Whenever You Come Around"!
The video for "One More Last Chance" is pretty funny. "Never Knew Lonely" is another tear-jerker.
Yeah that's a good song too
Vince Gill sang with The Eagles for a time after Glen Fry died. And Patti Lovelace, the lady singing with him, is a wonderful singer in her own right.
I was trying to remember who she was. Patty is definitely wonderful, too.
@@rebeccacurtis6680 Yes she does. She has the soulful sound of the Appalachian mountain people. Because she is one. She was born and raised in the mountains of KY. Her father worked in the coal mines and eventually died of the black lung that many of the miners suffered from.

Patty Loveless harmonizes with Vince Gill perfectly. He has a gospel, country, bluegrass vibe to me.
My Favorite song by him is a song he did before he went country, he was in a band called Pure Prairie league and is Called Amiee, excellent Guitar player as well.
Vince wasn't in the band when they made the recording but did sing it later in concert when he replaced the original lead singer.
Vince Gill is a phenomenal multiple instrument musician and singer
Opposite side of the happiness spectrum is Vince Gill "Look at us"
This is a great song for "hope for the future"...
"Go Rest High" is def a must and will bring you to tears.... HOWEVER go listen to one of his fun ones too like "One More Last Chance" - AMAZING SINGER AND GUITARIST

Vince gill is a country song writer and he can play anything he is a great singer and song and he will rip your heart out
The Harmony singer is Patty Loveless Another beautiful singer. Another duet partner of his is Reba Mcentire. Check them all out
This was Vince Gill's breakout in country radio. He is best known for his ballads. He is also one heck of a guitar player. He started writing a song called GO Rest High on That Mountain when Kieth Whitley passed away and finished it when his brother passed away. It tugs at your heart strings but is worth a listen.
One of the best guitar pickers and a hell of a voice with 22 Grammy awards to prove it actually Vince at one point got a call from mark Knopfler asking him to join dire Straits but he declined lately he's been touring as part of the Eagles,
That in country music is known as the high lonesome sound.
I normally reserve the adjective "angelic" for female voices, but that best describes Vince's voice. And it pairs so well with Patty Lovelace. Vince's "Go Rest High On That Mountain" is a must with her and Ricky Skaggs. (Note: Vince was asked to join Eagles after Glenn Frye passed.) As for George Strait & Alan Jackson - "Murder On Music Row" live is a MUST.
From what I remember he was very very shy and only played the backup music and vocals for a long time. He got through it and did his singing career and hosted many country award shows. One of the best voices ever
Country,blue grass,ect
Dude was in pure prairie league back in the day. Vince is a legend. Lot of people saying “go rest high on that mountain “. Great song but check out “ when ever come around “
To have your heart torn out listen to Vince’s GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN. Written for his brother’s funeral and has gone platinum.
Besides being a fabulous writer and singer, he has to be the most humble person I have met. I met him when his wife gifted him a home putting green, that my nephew's company was installing at his home. When he came up to me, I greeted him as Mr. Gill, and his reaction was to put his hand out for me to shake and said, call me Vinny. He is a National Treasure
Vince can do it all. He fills in for members of the Eagles when they need him. Go Rest on that Mountain is a must listen to, about his brother.
Thank you for bringing new discoveries to your channel. Vince is one of the best and is recognized as one of the greatest musicians and he also does a lot of work with other entertainers like Patty Loveless. Patty Loveless is a beautiful woman with an extraordinary voice. Her songs tell a story. She is the daughter of a coal miner and no song displays her talents like "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" Check out this live version for the ultimate story telling and just take in her pure voice. There are several live versions and they are FIRE especially the one at Austin City
You need to hear his song “ go rest high on that mountain “
Vince Gill was the host of the CMA Country Awards until the year they move the awards from Nashville to Los Angeles. He protested the awards being held in LA.
Dwight Yokam is another legend that you should check out. Long White Cadillac, Guitars Cadillacs, Streets of Bakersfield, This Time, Lonesome Roads...lots of whiskey was drank to those hits. Some blown speakers at 2 AM, too!
❤❤❤❤ Dwight is one of my playlists all by himself!
Don't forget about Fast As You as well
Before I rec some Vince Gill songs I want to recommend you listen to 4x Platinum artist Patty Loveless singing backup here. Her song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" will slay you.
Vince Gill can play and sing anything. He's definitely a country guy, and while he was a big star in the 90s Country boom he is huge fan of the subgenres like Western Swing and the High Lonesome Sound so he has quite an eclectic songbook. He's known as much for his musicianship as his singing and songwriting. Lately he's been touring with The Eagles as a stand-in for the late Glenn Frey. Try "Liza Jane", "Take Your Memory With You", "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away", and his iconic "Go Rest High on That Mountain".
Vince was tops late 80’s into the 90’s and was asked along with Glenn Frey’s
son Deacon took the place of Glenn after his death!
Another tear jerker like this is Hello walls
And yes the is pre swift type country!
Patty Loveless ( backing him up ) is fantastic!!! you need to listen to her songs also!!!!
Go Rest High On That Mountain is the best song by Vince in my opinion. He also sings a fun song called One More Last Chance - he spends too much time at the bar so the wife takes his car keys, but he says she forgot about his John Deer mower/tractor. On the same theme, Hank Williams Jr.’s song All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight has many celebs/singers in the video, one of which is George Jones who is shown driving the mower over to his house - probably a nod to his alcoholism.
Also check out Chisled In Stone by Verne Gosden, since you liked He Stopped Loving Her Today by George.
Check out Ricky Skaggs if you want to go down the Bluegrass rabbit hole. Happy watching!❤
Yes - yes - yes ❤❤❤
Vince and Patty. Two Country and Bluegrass Legends. This was released in 1989. Having a mullet was o.k. LOL!
Oklahoma has given us many musicians, Vince Gill among these. You need to watch the video of him performing the song Go Rest High On That Mountain at George Jones' memorial. They had a special relationship with George calling him Sweet Pea and Vince calling George Possum. It is hard to watch as Vince breaks down and Patty Loveless steps up to pull him through with the mourners led by Garth Brooks standing in support.
"Go Rest High on that Mountain "becoming one of the most requested songs for funerals. Recently it was played at my cousin's funeral. It's a must listen too.
That is Patty Loveless in the background She is also a Country legend !
When you come around is a beautiful song
My favorite!!
He is the legend that the comments make him out to be. He was also the singing voice of Boomhauer on that episode of King of the Hill where he was singing Blue Moon of Kentucky, which has always been funny to me.
You so need to hear "go rest high on the mountain ". The live version for george jones will bring you to tears. His voice is so iconically country.
Tim McGraw “Don’t take the girl”. A must listen.
I just suggested that song. I saw Tim in the late 90s and The Mavericks it was fire
Yeah that's a good song as well
Vince is iconic. Lots of great suggestions here. I love One More Last Chance and Liza Jane a lot. Also, for pure fun, check out him doing “It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chewed your ass out all day long” by the Notorious Cherry Bombs (who are Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell as themselves and also in drag). Vince is a treasure.
One of my favorite country singers. I sang go rest high on that mountain at my uncle's funeral. Check it out. It's awesome
Vince Gill has been touring with the Eagles for the past few years. He’s an amazing musician. He makes the guitar weep in Go Rest High and also with Carri Underwood on How Great Thou Art
I’ve seen Vince Gill live three times. He never disappoints! He has probably done more duets than anyone. This was Vince’s first big country hit after leaving Pure Prairie League. He’s now touring with The Eagles. He is also a top tier guitarist. Vince and Patty Loveless have some beautiful harmonies!
Vince Gill and his wife Amy Grant are awesome people in general, his wife Amy sings more gospel and Vince sings more country but together they are beautiful! ❤🙏🏻
You should check our "whenever you come around" and "go rest high on that mountain" from Vince Gill next!!
And Patty Loveless is singing in the background here. Shes another great country woman you should check out! "You'll never leave Harlan alive" and "you don't even know who I am" from Patty Loveless!
Vince Gill is one of the best showmen there is! I can honestly say he puts on the best concerts! I saw him in San Diego in 1994 at his peak in popularity, and he played with his band for about 90 minutes! Then he came back for an encore with just him and his guitars in a half circle around him and proceeded to play another 8-9 songs! He also replaced Glen Frey in the Eagles after his death along with Glen's son Deacon! This song also showed you, in my opinion, one of the greatest unofficial country duets ever! The lady in the background is Patty Loveless, and they have sang together in about a dozen songs together split between each others albums! Vince Gill said in an interview that he loves to sing with his wife; Pop and Christian superstar Amy Grant, but Patty is his favorite singing partner! With harmonies like this, though, who could blame him!
Everybody's going to recommend you watching him perform "Go Rest High on that Mountain" at George Jones' funeral, but I strongly suggest against that performance as being your first time hearing the song.
Your attention will be taken away from how beautiful the song is if you watch that one first. I don't want to spoil it, but it will make sense if you watch two different versions.
The George Jones funeral performance is great for other reasons. And I would highly recommend watching the upload of that where he tells a funny story about George Jones before performing.
They were close friends, and the legend George Jones had his own funny little nickname for Vince. He would call him "Sweat Pea".
Vincent song 'LizaJane ' was a fun happy song too ❤❤🎉... and Patty Loveless 'jealous bone' ❤❤
He sang one of the best versions of the National Anthem that I’ve ever heard. It was at the Houston Fat Stock Show and Rodeo in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Just straight up put a knot in my throat! Probably even a tear or two.
Big fan of Vince. He has a LOT of hits.
Vince Gill is a vocal and guitar playing legend. He was the guitarist/harmony singer in the Carrie Undewood reaction you did for "How Great Thou Art". He had an amazing solo a career and then joined the Eagles...ans currently tours with them. He's a legend!
I was a huge Vince Gill fan in the 1990s. Vince was one of the stars of country music in the 80s & 90s during what was known as a return to the more traditional sound of country. Vince can do it all: slow, sad ballads and fast rockers. He plays an amazing guitar as well, that he plays as if it's an extension of his singing voice.
I see everyone mentioning "Go Rest High On That Mountain", which is a beautiful and sad song, but I'd like to recommend some others.
There's "Look At Us" which a lovely song looking at a positive relationship. "Liza Jane" is a fast song and a lot of fun, as is "One More Last Chance".
Huge Vince Gill fan here, too, from the 90s. The man is a legend, and he writes a highly respected guitarist. He can sing em all fast and slow but there's no one like him to tug your heart strings in a ballad. His voice is so pure and sweet. Nobody answers when I call your name gets me but not because of a break up but thinking of going into a house like my sister or my parents when they passed away and that line just gets me. Look at us sums up my parents' marriage they nearly made it to 63 years. Dad passed, and Mum just 17 months later 'when they wanna see what true love should be they'll just look at us'. The very last song I played for my Dad who at almost 92 had just got Spotify was Together again. I saw Vince live truly amazing. 😢 CC
Vince Gill has one of the most amazing
Voices in Country !!! ❤️❤️
Yes he is country and has a huge range on beautiful music to listen to. Thanks for this.
I used to have a nurse who was an acquaintance of Vince Gill’s and she said he had a hard time deciding whether to go with Bluegrass music or Country Music and he chose Country Music because it is more monetarily lucrative. He has helped out many other musicians who needed a hand up to make it big. He is married to Amy Grant who started out in Gospel music and is supposed to be a committed Christian singer still to this day and I hope that it is true. He has recorded several love songs for her and they are beautiful!
You need to listen to Go Rest High on That Mountain. He wrote it when his brother passed and it's beautiful! ❤️
@Black Pegasus
Three weeks ago you reacted to Carrie Underwood singing How Great Thou Art.
Vince Gill was playing guitar for her.
Go rest high on that mountain is a classic. He dedicated it to his brother and to country singer Keith whitley who both died. It's a beautiful song.
Patty’s harmonies along with Vince’s voice, whew!!! Love them both!
top guitarist in Nashville!!!!! He is amazing!!! That is Patty Loveless - a very underrated singer - she is almost perfection!!!
I love Vince Gill ❤❤❤
Vince Gill got his start in a rock band in the,70's called Pure Prairie Leage, the song "Amy" was a huge hit for them. He left the band and started his career in country music, and the rest is history. That is Patty Loveless singing back up for him on this song.
please do Vince Gill go rest high on that mountain
His career started as a member of the group "Pure Prairie League"... hits like "Aimee" and "Let Me Love You Tonight."
His solo career has been nothing short of fantastic.
Like many others have said, the song he wrote for his brother, (after his brother's passing,) and dedicated to Keith Whitley, after HIS passing... "Go Rest High On That Mountain," will break you. Guaranteed.... just knowing the meaning it has to him. There are 2 live performances.... one with Ricky Skaggs and Allison Krauss... and the one that breaks me, every time... performed with Patty Loveless, at the George Jones memorial, held at the Grand Ole Opry, after Jones' passing.
The first song I ever heard from Vince as a solo although he had been around with other groups (Pure Prairie League) for a while. This song is such a gut punch with his incredible voice, the harmonies from Patty Loveless, the steel guitar, the heartbreak. Has to be in the top tier of best country songs of all time.
And BTW - in addition to that voice, he is by far one of the best guitar musicians still playing.
He is now touring with the Eagles singing Glen Frey’s leads. He is paying such a great tribute to Glen. Heard them this past year and they were fabulous!!
One of the best country artists of all time in my opinion. He’s also a beautiful soul. BP, keep these oldies coming. ❤️❤️❤️👵🏼 Gmaw
Vince first found fame as part of Pure Prairie League which did pop songs. He sings gospel and country but also does fill in with the Eagles. He is a multi-facited musician. He plays guitar with the best of them also.
