VINCE GILL IS STILL HAVING FUN MAKING MUSIC.

VINCE GILL IS STILL HAVING FUN MAKING MUSIC.
Artist
Vince Gill

Vince Gill has announced the release of his new album, Down to My Last Bad Habit, February 12th. The Oklahoma native co-wrote all 12 songs on the collection, which features appearances by Little Big Town on “Take Me Down,” and Cam on “I’ll Be Waiting for You.”

The last solo release by Vince was 2011’s Guitar Slinger, and he also released the collaborative album, Bakersfield, with Paul Franklin a couple of years ago; covers of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard songs.

Vince explains he had a lot of fun making this new record. “What’s interesting is that at 58, 40 years later it’s still as much fun as it’s ever been to play music. Just to record music, to record a new song and see something just blossom into something good or something bad,” he says. “You know, a lot of times you miss, you think a song is great, this or that, and then go and record it and it doesn’t turn out. It’s just fun working on something, you know, just keep messing with it and messing with it until you get it the way you like it.”

The Country Music Hall of Famer is set to hit the road with pal Lyle Lovett for their Songs and Stories Tour. First, he’ll join wife Amy Grant at the Ryman Auditorium for their annual Christmas at the Ryman shows in December.
