Album Review
This is perhaps the most distinctive and artistic project Vince Gill has released to date, an amazing array of traditional styles displaying his versatile talent. Going back to his roots as he has not done in too many years, Gill shines like God's brightest penny, and even Tony Brown's usual heavy-handed production style seems to be as light as an angel's feather this time around. Gill is in fine voice throughout, joining with a colorful cast of backup singers to create music that modern mainstream country radio has not played in well over a decade. With 13 tracks, Gill eases gracefully from one style to another. From a classic hillbilly waltz to the edgy Bakersfield sound. He even skillfully tips his hat to guitar great Roy Nichols on the soon-to-be-classic "There'S Not Much Love Here Anymore." A duet with honky tonk songbird Patty Loveless, "My Kind Of Woman/My Kind Of Man," stands proudly next to the best country duets by George and Tammy or Merle and Bonnie Owens. Most impressive is "Kindly Keep It Country," a stone-cold country hit that details one man's heartbreak and the soothing effects of a jukebox and a bar stool. As heartbreaking as any song ever written is "Let Her In," told from the perspective of a divorced father who is trying to rebuild his life and still retain his relationship with his daughter. Just as effective is "The Hills Of Caroline," a mountain tune with a strong melody and story that is enhanced by the beautiful backing vocals of Alison Krauss. The title cut, which is also the final cut, is endearing and comes directly from Gill's relationship with his late father. For emotional depth, honesty, and musical accomplishment, this is certainly Gill's crowning achievement to date. ~ Jana Pendragon, All Music Guide
