A country singer who melts hearts with his voice, and not with tight jeans and a big hat, is a rare commodity. Vince Gill, who possesses one of the most beautiful voices in popular music, effectively distills the varied elements of country music's roots and has become Nashville's leading man.
Gill, a bluegrass virtuoso and rock guitar master (he was asked to join Dire Straits), has created a niche for himself as the man who best gives voice to the pain of heartache and longing through his spine-tingling high notes. This Oklahoma tenor melds his harmonies with the likes of Patty Loveless and Trisha Yearwood and comes out with a single-voiced backdrop for some of country's most intense heartbreak ballads.
His athletic guitar solos on the up-beat cuts, "What The Cowgirls Do" and "South Side Of Dixie" (a Southern version of "California Girls"), are a perfect counterpoint to the soaring, soulful, ethereal ballads like "When Love Finds You." Vince and his wife, Janis (of Sweethearts Of The Rodeo), even share an autobiographical writing collaboration on "Maybe Tonight."
Gill's closing song, his original, modern spiritual, "Go Rest On The Mountain," sums it up the best, when he sings, "I wish I could see the angel's faces, when they hear your sweet voice." Sweet voice, indeed.
| | Editorial reviews | ...Gill turns away from his bluegrass-country-pop base to experiment more with white-boy R&B and an understated contemporary Christian sound. He pulls it off both through the control of his elastic, angelic tenor and his soulful, hotshot guitar playing... - Rating: B+
