Grammy nomination carries special meaning for Gill
The song was not a hit for Gill, but it had special meaning to him. He co-wrote the song with his wife, Amy Grant, Dillon O'Brian and Will Owsley. Gill is appreciative of the nomination because it serves as a lasting tribute to Owsley, who took his own life since the song was recorded for Gill's new album, "Guitar Slinger."
"I couldn't be more thrilled for my late friend Will," Gill said. "This would have meant the world to him."
Gill says the song has a profound impact on him because of Owsley's death. "In my lifetime, Go Rest High On That Mountain has been the song that helped a lot of people through their grief," he said. "I think this one will in turn hopefully do the same thing. It's a powerful, powerful song."
This is the 41st career Grammy nomination for Gill, who has won 20 Grammys.
Gill and Grant will begin their popular Christmas tour, The Twelve Days of Christmas - Amy Grant & Vince Gill, on Dec. 7 in Baltimore.
