Vince Gill is doing his best to earn his place in the Country Music Hall of  Fame, never mind that he’s already a member.

Inducted in 2007, at age 50, Gill still admits to feeing a bit unworthy,  despite his numerous career accomplishments, which include winning a whopping 20  Grammy Awards and selling more than 26 million records.

“I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I’m so young,” says Gill,  now 54, who has been making music professionally since the 1970s. “And I can’t  help but look [at other stars] and go, ‘Well, I think THAT person should be in  this hall long before I should.’ That’s just because of my respect for what’s  come before me.

“The other side of it is I do want to go earn it,” he continues, describing  what he calls his “workingman’s mentality.”

VINCE GILL SINGS IN SUPPORT OF NASHVILLE, COUNTRY MUSIC

Vince Gill is intense.

Who’d have thunk it?

He’s such a pleasant sort. Back when Gill hosted the CMA Awards (motto: “We’re still kind of, sort of different from all those other country awards shows”), he lent a folksy, casual air to the proceedings. And throughout his career — a career that has landed him in the Country Music Hall of Fame — he has shown an ability to laugh at himself, to support fellow musicians rather than take sides in whatever petty squabbles are going on, and to remain affable, kind and funny.

I tried to railroad him on the phone, when I called the day after Hank Williams Jr. got the Monday Night Football yankeroo for comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler. I figured I’d surprise Gill with an impossible-to-answer-without-looking-like-a-jerk question. It’d be my entry into gotcha journalism.

One of the most popular singers in modern country music, Vince Gill has a love for country music, top-notch songwriting, and world-class guitar playing, all wrapped in a warm tenor and a quick and easy wit. Gill achieved his big breakthrough with “When I Call Your Name,” which won the Country Music Association’s Single of the Year award. Since then, he has won 17 more CMA honors, including Song of the Year four times – making him the most awarded artist in that category in CMA history. Since 1990, Gill has walked away with 20 Grammy Awards and has racked up sales in excess of 26 million. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007. After a long and musically productive spell of writing, touring and recording with other artists, he roars back on his own with “Threaten Me With Heaven,” his first single in four years. The song is the opening salvo from his MCA Records album, Guitar Slinger, due out October 24. more!
