Gill, Urban, Krauss help with flood relief

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 – Vince Gill, Alison Krauss and Keith Urban are among the country musicians helping Nashville in the wake of this week's flooding.

WSMV-TV Channel 4 will broadcast Working 4 You: Flood Relief with Vince Gill & Friends on Thursday, May 6 from 7 to 10 p.m. Naomi Judd, Darius Rucker, Phil Vassar, Steve Wariner, Buddy Jewell, Lonestar, Lee Roy Parnell and Bo Bice are also scheduled to appear.

Heavy rains last weekend caused the Cumberland River to overflow, damaging the Grand Ole Opry Resort, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Lower Broadway area.

Many Tennesseans were evacuated from their homes with many losing everything to the flood. Many are also without flood insurance. All proceeds from Working 4 You: Flood Relief with Vince Gill & Friends will benefit The Salvation Army, The Red Cross and The Second Harvest Food Bank.

"These are our friends and family; we always take care of our friends and family," said Meredith Senior Vice President and WSMV-TV General Manager Elden Hale Jr. "It's unfortunate that we're called upon to do this again for our neighbors, but we are very proud to have the ability to reach out to so many people with Nashville's flood relief telethon."

People can contribute through the American Red Cross by sending the text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund from your phone.

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. ...
