Vince Gill Gets a Jump on 2013 With Multiple ProjectsIt’s pretty clear that nobody’s dictating to Vince Gill what a Country Music Hall of Famer’s career ought to look like. Every few months, news makes the rounds of his involvement in some other singular, tradition-savvy project. He joined the Western-swinging Time Jumpers and got them into his studio to record an album, which resulted in two Grammy nominations.

Veteran Singer-Songwriter Brings His New Guitar Slinger to Town

Written by Chet Flippo – CMT

You only have to go back in recent history to the 1970s, when a young Vince Gill was a journeyman instrumentalist in such bluegrass bands as Mountain Smoke, Boone Creek and the group Byron Berline & Sundance, to catch a glimpse of the promise of the impact the young Oklahoman would one day have on the world of country music. He learned his chops on the road with such hustling groups and later as a member of the Eagle-esque group Pure Prairie League and Rodney Crowell’s ace road band the Cherry Bombs.

I think that today Gill is overwhelmingly country music’s most valuable player. In the overall scheme of things — especially considering the many roles he has played in the music — it would be hard to name anyone else more important to the music. As an artist, entertainer, songwriter, musician, sideman, show host, mentor to young artists and man-about-town Belmont University basketball fan.

“You people are either very lucky or very hooked up.” Bill Flanagan, the television executive and music critic, was warming up an invitation-only crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan Tuesday night for a taping of the latest episode of CMT Crossroads. “This is the hottest ticket in New York tonight,” he said without exaggeration, “and the biggest show in Crossroads’ ten-year history.”

The critically-acclaimed CMT series matches country and rock stars, usually for one-night-only concerts (the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss pairing was an exception). The new show debuts November 25, the day after Thanksgiving.

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.
