Vince Gill to release four-CD collection in October
"I never try to fill up my records with famous people," Gill says. "I try to fill them up with the most talented people I can find on the face of the earth." Others on the discs include John Anderson, Lee Ann Womack, daughter Jenny Gill, wife Amy Grant, LeAnn Rimes, Gretchen Wilson, Guy Clark, Trisha Yearwood, Bekka Bramlett, Michael McDonald, and steel-guitar master Buddy Emmons.
Gill initially planned to release a single album, but in one of the studios he used, he saw Beatles memorabilia and remembered they regularly released multiple albums within the same year.
Gill broached the idea to Luke Lewis, Universal Music Group Nashville Co-Chairman, who totally supported the multiple releases idea. Lewis then told Gill to record more songs that explore his love of acoustic sounds and release a four-CD set.
He co-produced "These Days" with keyboardist John Hobbs and sound engineering whiz Justin Niebank.

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. ...
