He performs Saturday at the Columbus Civic Center.

The local concert is just one item on Gill’s crowded to-do list. He’s recently recorded on albums for artists like Chris Botti, Don Williams, Bonnie Tyler, Rita Wilson and Rodney Crowell. On top of that, he’ll embark on a bluegrass tour in June.

ALL-STAR CAST JOINS RODNEY CROWELL AND MARY KARR ON NEW ALBUM

By Bobby Herb – American Songwriter

Grammy-Award winning songwriter Rodney Crowell and New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr have announced a collaborative album, Kin, Songs By Mary Karr and Rodney Crowell, which is due June 5, 2012 on Vanguard Records. Joe Henry produced the album, and Norah Jones, Vince Gill, Lucinda Williams, Lee Ann Womack,  Rosanne Cash, Chely Wright, Kris Kristofferson and Emmylou Harris all  contribute vocals.

The collaboration began shortly after Crowell’s explicit mention of Karr (who penned the memoir The Liar’s Club) to the likes of Tom Waits and Aretha Franklin in his song “Earth Bound” off of the 2003 album Fates’ Right Hand. Crowell confessed, “I called out to her in the darkness because she was a bona fide poet I knew could write songs, and despite her professor’s pedigree, she’d ridden a bike in a mosquito truck’s fog.”
