Vince Gill has carved an historic career out of recording emotionally-charged songs like 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' and 'Never Knew Lonely.' But while other stars might lean toward more positive, up-tempo tunes, the 54-year-old admits he actually prefers the opposite.

I grew up and played a lot of bluegrass music, and the songs were somewhat morbid in a sense. Somebody's going to die or something bad is going to happen. There was a great songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. He had my favorite quote of all time. He says 'there's really only two kinds of music: there's the blues and Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.'"
