Vince Gill - These Days

Vince Scores A Grand Slam

Incredibly talented, his operatic voice in full display, Vince is a true superstar of music, country or otherwise. A steal at the price, too. August 30, 2008

Best Vince Gill recording ever!!

Vince Gill's beautiful tenor soars and on other songs makes your throat tight from emotion on this CD. I consider this one of his BEST I've heard so far! April 30, 2008

Glad I bought it

I like every CD of this set. The music was good, nice arrangements and good musicians, plus Vince Gill's good guitar playing and singing. Very versatile musician this man is. April 25, 2008

Tour de Force of Country and Pop music

I've been a Vince Gill fan for some years. Seeing him on Austin City Limits was what introduced me to him. I was impressed with his traditional country roots but modern presentation. His bands were always good too. Over the years, I began to realize that he not only sings, he writes the tunes as well. And with the release of the Eric Clapton Texas Guitar Summit video, I realized that he's one of the best new wave of Telecaster players. The man is an all around musician.

So it shouldn't have come as a surprise to me when I discovered the These Days 4 disc collection. When I first considered it, I thought there was a pretty good chance that a lot of the package had to be filler. That's a lot of tunes, and as I read the titles, I realized they mostly seemed to be originals.

The discs are organized by genre. Theres a bluegrass disc, a country and western disc, a pop disc and a country rock disc. I'll bet you didn't consider that you could break it down into that many subjects, but as I say the man is in control, and he knows what he's doing.

There's a lot of great material here. Let us say without reviewing each and every tune, that there isn't any filler here. Overall the recordings are above average. There's a host of country royalty here, and some younger players somewhat out of their element. Gill has galvanized all that talent into 4 very good discs that are well worth the price of admission. If anything, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't let him play more guitar solos, but then he's a professional himself and knows that its hard to sell instrumental music. Its the tunes that standout here. There's a ton of good writing, and everything is polished shiny.

These Days by Vince Gill

This album has something for everyone. It has country, bluegrass and slow and mellow music. The bluegrass is by far my favorite. Also the background musicians are fabulous. March 27, 2008
