Guitar Slinger

Guitar Slinger was released in October 2011 and reached number 4 on the country album charts.Oklahoma born Vince Gill released his first solo album in 1984 and went on to have great success in the nineties. In 2013 appeared with Eric Clapton at the Crossroads guitar festival and performed Lay Down Sally with him as well as a storming version of Aint Living Long Like This with guitarist Albert Lee from The Hot Band who backed Emmylou Harris.I bought the deluxe edition of the disc and it is definitely the edition to purchase.Great stuff

great cd

As a Vince Gill fan, I have been trying to buy this cd for over a year now. Vince Gill cds at one time easy to find at British retailers. Not now. What a shame.

Recommend. Vincent Gill always delivers the goods, he's done it again. Fantastic player and will always have praise for this man

Some really good tracks on this like "Guitar Slinger" and "Bread and Water" but the rest is not quite so good. Might be better to download the tracks you like from this album

Great service and cd

great loved it sent much quicker then expected

Hard working singer churs out another fantastic album. Nice mix of country and some classic ballads as always from Mr Gill.

great album

Après le quadruple album de 2006 ("These Days" et ses 43 titres originaux qui font comme une encyclopédie de tous les aspects de la country music), Vince GILL revient à la production "normale" d'un CD de 12 titres. Normale ?... pas vraiment car, avec cet artiste, le normal sonne comme de l'exceptionnel.C'est l'option électrique qui l'emporte cette fois. Le guitar slinger enfourche sa Telecaster pour illuminer voire enluminer (tant les parties de guitare se refusent au bavardage m'-as-tu-vu facile) la plupart des titres de contre-points heureux et de soli délicats. Ces titres sont du pur Vince GILL dans le texte. Quelques ballades suspendues en famille ("Who Wouldn't Fall In Love With You" avec Jenny Gill, "True Love" avec Amy Grant). Le tout avec cette voix délicieuse au falsetto fondant (Vince Gill ne force jamais un aigu, il chante en voix mixte et privilégie les résonances de tête)... Et, là-dedans, un magnifique titre en forme d'assomption ("Threaten Me With Heaven") qui, nappé de chœur, s'élève vers le Ciel pour s'épanouir dans un solo empreint de religiosité. Stupéfiante sérénité du country singer/guitar slinger après plus de trente années de carrière solo.Vince Gill signe, ici, un album électrique et crépusculaire. On songe à la phrase de J-J Goldman : "une guitare à la main, je n'ai peur de rien"... Pas même de la mort. Les fans auront déjà acquis ce disque, les néophytes peuvent commencer par là. Il leur suffira, ensuite, de remonter le temps. Pour, par exemple, s'arrêter longuement sur le quadruple album de 2006. Une somme définitive dont "Guitar Slinger" n'est, pour l'heure, qu'un premier épilogue.

gotta love that guitar playing style of vince gill along with his million dollar voice extremely happy thanks amazon !!!!!

Wer County-Rock mag, wird auch dieses Album mögen.Wer Vince Gill mag, wird dieses Album erst recht mögen.Typisch Vince Gill: Country mal rockig, mal sanft, mit wunderschönene Gitarren-Riffs.

Vince Gill is absolutely fabulous to listen to and a wonderful guitarist. This latest album is a joy to listen to and I hear it every day, in the car and at home. The tracks with his wife are lovely and typical country, the fast tracks are also country but a different sort. I LOVE IT

It's always nice to sometimes spin something different than my beloved 60's/70's British blues/prog and ECM jazz. By accident I heard Vince(and some notable others) in mid 90's when the CMT was available in Europe on cable tv. I've been tracing his career ever since and stopped buying his records with excellent High Lonesome Sound. The Guitar Slinger is worth the loooong wait.I am not too much fond of the Lynne-like wall of sound but the quality of songs and musicianship makes me forget about it.Also,I am happy to note that Vince does not stick to the Strat sound in extenso(Eric from Surrey,will you follow???).He knows how to and he can squeeze more juice from heavier guitars :-)Strongly recommended not only to country fans!Cheers !ps Deluxe Edition? Not necessarily....

Vince Gill auf der Höhe seines Schaffens – Ein Album,das nicht nur Country-Fans gefallen dürfte.Songwriting, Produktion, Gesang – alles absolut TOP! Guitar SlingerGuitar Slinger
