Three living legends of country music can add a new honor to their already stellar resumes. Vince Gill, Charlie Daniels and Randy Owen were each given the Leadership Music Dale Franklin Award at a special ceremony in Nashville Wednesday night (Oct. 17) at War Memorial Auditorium, one of the city’s oldest and most beautiful structures. It was a fitting setting for the honorees, who also included Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, as all are avid supporters of the military. In fact, the first Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam was held at War Memorial Auditorium.

Don’t Stop Achievin’by JEWLY HIGHT – Nashville Scene

Nobody seems less worried about Vince Gill’s chances of continuing to chart country hits than Vince Gill. Which is pretty remarkable, considering that he’s seen what big songs can do for a career, and that he knows he’s still delivering high-quality performances. (In fact, there are some on his new album, Guitar Slinger.)

“Well, I’m not gonna go try to be what the [popular] thing is at current mainstream radio,” says Gill good-naturedly. “I can’t change what I am and how I do things just to try to accomplish that, because, you know, there’s a whole lot of that that’s not very appealing. So yeah, I am gonna be much further down on… the totem pole of current radio airplay and things like that. …I’m just doing what I feel like is some really fine work. Whether the results are No. 1 records and up the charts and those kinds of things, I don’t think that’s really the exercise. … Whether everybody buys it or nobody buys it, none of the music changes. That’s not why it’s great, just because a lot of people bought it.”

Country star Vince Gill and rock star Sting teamed up at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night to help CMT Crossroads celebrate its 10th anniversary in a big way. It was the first New York taping in five years for the cable country video network’s program, which teams country artists with those of other genres in illustrating the far-reaching roots of country music–and usually tapes in Nashville. The show airs November 25th.
This “Crossroads” was one of the toughtest tickets for those lucky enough to attend. But while previous stellar pairings like John Fogerty and Keith Urban and John Mellencamp and Kenny Chesney may have made more sense from the country music roots standpoint, that surely didn’t bother anyone present.

It has been four years, four LONG years, since country radio has been blessed with Vince Gill’s amazing voice and solid songs. That four years has come to an end with the release of his brand new radio single “Threaten Me With Heaven,” that feels like a long lost song from the 90’s era with lyrics that grab and hold you the way a great song should. Much in the vein of songs like “Live Like You Were Dying,” this song takes a spiritual look at life and appreciating it. In the lyric’s story, our character is dying and asks the question “what’s the worst that can happen if they say my time is through” leading him to push the hook line of “threaten me with heaven.”

Gill uses his voice like no other artist can in that he doesn’t over power the lyrics in the chorus although the music dictates him to do so, but rather uses a quick punch and backs away allowing you to digest the power in the lyric. It has been way too long since Vince Gill has found radio success, but perhaps with the release of this song radio will once again catch on to one of country music’s most legendary artist’s. A powerful song and lyric with the perfect voice delivering it; This one is going to make you listen and think about life and the meanings of it and is well worth a listen.
