Vince Gill is Nashville's Renaissance Man of the '90s. Admired for his singing, songwriting, and guitar-playing abilities, as well as his good looks and his golf game, Gill is so popular in Music City that at least one country music magazine has wondered if he might one day run for political office there.

Vince Gill has finally achieved the success that his talent deserves. His career-breaking #1 single, "When I Call Your Name," the title cut from his first MCA album, won the multi-talented country singer/songwriter/guitarist a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male, as well as the CMA Award for Single of the Year and a host of nominations for the upcoming Academy of Country Music and TNN/Music City News Awards.

For the music lover with eclectic tastes who remains a little bit country at heart: Vince Gill, “These Days” (MCA Nashville, four discs, $29.99). Gee, talk about pent-up supply. The prolific and versatile Gill, who hasn’t released an album in nearly four years, pours forth here, delivering 43 new tunes scattered over four discs that are divided by musical genre. There’s a volume devoted to workmanlike pop ballads, another that leans toward bluesy roadhouse rock and a third made up of affable bluegrass and acoustic material. But the real stunner (no surprise really) is Gill’s collection of 10 traditional country tunes, which finds him cozying up to, among others, Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless and Phil Everly. GC
