Editorial Reviews :
Having earned respect for creating mainstream country that proudly maintains a deep vein of traditional elements, Vince Gill draws from a broader palette on this unusually lengthy offering of originals and collaborations. Honoring styles that inspired him, he zigzags from rockabilly (the opening title track) to the Beatle-esque ballad 'Someday' (cowritten with Richard Marx) into unfettered traditionalism on the shuffle 'Without You,' the majestic 'Two Hearts,' and the Merle Haggard tribute 'Real Mean Bottle.' His philosophical 'Young Man's Town' could easily be a commentary on today's Nashville. While he could have dropped a couple of the more-mundane numbers (especially the clichéd cantina ditty 'We Had It All'), he projects the same clean consistency that's marked all his work. True, he takes few risks, but then the cutting edge was never his chosen place. And as the album's sole producer, he shows better sense than most current Nashville producers. Gill, the omnipresent guest harmony singer on so many others' records, used surprisingly few guests himself, which keeps the focus where it belongs. --Rich Kienzle
Buyer Reviews :
Vince has offered up a 17 song set (practically two CDs worth of music for the price of one) without a single weak song on the
CD. As always, he is a triple threat as a great singer,songwriter and musician. Vince shows us again all that is good about contemporary country music today (This CD is on par with his classic 'The Key' from 1998).
Songs range from hard core country ('Two Hearts', 'Without You', 'Old Time Fiddle') to strong ballads ('Someday' & 'In These Last Few Days), to mid tempo country/pop ('She Never Makes Me Cry' & 'We Had It ALL') to rockin country ('Next Big Thing').
Especially moving is his nod to getting older and being comfortable with it in 'Young Man's Town' (destined to be a classic song!), the Merle haggard tribute in 'Real Mean Bottle' and the sentimental life's journey song 'This Old Guitar and Me'.
The songwriting is exceptionally strong and Vince proves he can produce his own music without Tony Brown.
I have no doubt this will be the next big hit for Vince Gill!
I highly recommend this CD.
