Vince Gill has proven that he is still at the top of his game, releasing a four disc set of all new material in four different genre's. Vince said he got the idea from Eric Clapton a few years a go at a guitarists get together. Initially when I saw box set, I thought it was some kind of best of thing, but, no, it's all brand new. In 2005, Vince started recording a song a day with the help of Justin Niebank and John Hobbs in the production area. He had invited a lot of vocalists to help out with the backup vocals. Singers include Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Rait, Diana Krall, Rodney Crowell, Phil Everly, the Del McCoury Band, Emmylou Harris, John Anderson, Lee Ann Womack, (daughter) Jenny Gill, Amy Grant, Leanne Rimes, Gretchen Wilson, Guy Clark, Trisha Yearwood, Bekka Bramlett, Michael Mcdonald and musicians that he has worked with over the years, including Richard Bennett on guitar and Buddy Emmons on pedal steel plus many others.
