Product Description: These new recordings of mostly recent Gill compositions are the culmination of a project aimed at recording four distinct albums: rock, romance, vintage honky-tonk, and acoustic. The Rockin' Record, virtually perfect from start to finish, begins with "Workin' on a Big Chill," its swampy groove straight out of John Fogerty and a showcase for Gill's guitar virtuosity--a groove he resumes on "Cowboy Up," with cameo harmonies from Gretchen Wilson. "Sweet Thing" and a duet with Rodney Crowell on "Nothin' for a Broken Heart" pulsate with Chuck Berry intensity that contrasts with the solid, '60s Memphis groove of "Bet It All on You." The Reason Why showcases Gill's legendary ease with ballads, several of them enhanced by creative string arrangements by David Campbell (Beck's father), including "What You Don't Say" with LeAnn Rimes and "The Memory of You" with Trisha Yearwood. The stunning "Faint of Heart," a remarkably sultry jazz duet with Diana Krall, could become a standard. Some Things Never Get Old revisits classic fiddle-steel honky-tonk, music Gill has long reverenced and referenced. "This New Heartache" is straight out of Ray Price. Gill and Patty Loveless tear up "Out of My Mind" and Allison Krauss and Dan Tyminski join in for the waltz "I Can't Let Go." "Don't Pretend with Me" honors Ernest Tubb's honky-tonk primitivism. Little Brother, all-acoustic and often bluegrass-flavored, shines from beginning to end. Along with "Molly Brown," a stark cautionary about racial violence, Gill sings both "Cold Gray Light of Dawn" and "Give Me the Highway" with the Del McCoury Band. He and Guy Clark close it out with "Almost Home." Despite outstanding past efforts, Gill--one of the top hitmakers of the '90s--hasn't had a Top Ten single since 2000. No matter. His talents and the heart he puts into his writing, singing, and picking remain at their peak. This stellar collection proves it--four times over. --Rich Kienzle

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.

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!

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.

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.
Zoot says check it out.

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.
