Gill tours again
This marks the first time Gill has toured with his band since 2019. Featured on the tour will be vocalist Wendy Moten, who has most recently become known for her performances on NBC's The Voice.
"I miss singing all those songs that I've come up with over the last 45 years, so I'm pretty fired up to go out there and sing some of them again," Gill tweeted.
Gill, who has been touring with the Eagles since 2017, said, "When all touring stopped back in March of 2020, it was a good time for me to take a break from the road. Now the Eagles are touring again, and that's a blast. But I'm also eager to get back on the bus and visit some places and fans that I haven't seen for a while."
Moten, who has toured with Gill as a harmony singer for several years, scored her own pop hit in 1994 with "Come in Out of the Rain," and has toured extensively with Julio Iglesias, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Martina McBride. Gill, who produced Moten's most recent album, "I've Got You Covered," said, "I've always enjoyed sharing a stage with Wendy, whether she was singing harmonies for me or when we were in The Time Jumpers together. It's always been my wish that more of the world could hear her, so being able to feature her each night of this tour is something I look forward to."
Gill's band also includes Paul Franklin (steel), Billy Thomas (drums), Jimmy Sloas (bass) and John Jarvis (keyboards).

CD reviews for Vince Gill
At this point in his career, Vince Gill could just as well have entitled this "Tried and True." He's not chasing trends - pop country or bro country - of chart-geared songs. He's too old for that, and at this point anyway, Gill knows what works for him.
And there is quite a lot that works on his first solo album since 2011's "Guitar Slinger." (He did release the excellent "Bakersfield" with Paul Franklin in 2013). Gill prefers a more soulful approach, ...
It's hard to believe, considering what Vince Gill has accomplished over the past three decades, but the triple threat singer-songwriter-guitar picker may be in the most creative, productive stretch of his lengthy, remarkable career. Five years after Gill's Grammy-winning 4-album 43-song box set "These Days," his latest 12-song release again finds Gill tapping every ounce of his immense talents. The title song sums up his reputation as an ax man worthy of playing Eric ...
To put this release into perspective, it would take Axl Rose the better half of a century to issue the same amount of material. Fortunately, Vince Gill is about as prolific as they come these days, and this daring four-disc release only is further proof of that. Each disc is divvied up depending on his mood, with the opening "Working On A Big Chill" album being "The Rockin' Record."
And this album sets things off right with the lovely mid-tempo and groovy title track. ...
