Vince Gill - These Days [4 CD Set]

Vince Gill and his record label deserve all the plaudits being thrown their way for their bravery in putting out These Days - a 4 CD Box Set comprising of 43 brand new songs during the festive season when other mainstream country luminaries are settling back to watch the compilation cash cows come home.

This set sees the amiable Mr Gill step out from his comfortable crooner image and make his mark on Americana music. His long time friendship with Rodney Crowell has clearly been influential, particularly on the fourth volume where you get the feeling VG is letting loose on the acoustic music he loves best.

Vince Gill has won 17 more Country Music Association honours,and he has earned more CMA trophies than anyone else in history. The recipient of 17 Grammy awards he ties with the late Chet Atkins for the most Grammys won by a country artist.

These Days features a cloth bound slip-case with 4 themed digi-packs and a 64 page booklet of lyrics, photos and liner notes.

These Days features duets with Rodney Crowell, Diana Krall and Guy Clark. Other guest artists on the project are Gretchen Wilson, LeAnn Rimes, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Trisha Yearwood, Alison Krauss, Phil Everly, Lee Ann Womack, and Emmylou Harris.
