Vince Gll plans acoustic tour

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 – Vince Gill will go the acoustic route on a tour starting in mid-August and ending near Thanksgiving. The tour is being billed as A Special Acoustic Evening With Vince Gill. Accompanied only by pianist Pete Wasner and percussionist Billy Thomas,Gill will present an array of his songs along with some new material. genuine warmth.

"In 2006 and 2007, I toured with a 17-piece band so I could reproduce the sounds of These Days, the new album I'd made," Gill said, "And it was a lot of fun. This year, I'm not out promoting a new album so I wanted to do something really different. Recently I saw James Taylor on his tour. It was a kind of one-man band show, with just him, a piano player and all those great songs. I really enjoyed watching it, and I knew I would enjoy performing in that setting as well. So I'm going to tour basically the same way - pared down and informal."

CD reviews for Vince Gill

CD review - Down to My Last Bad Habit 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, ...
CD review - Guitar Slinger 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 ...
CD review - These Days 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. ...
