I’ve been listening to “When I Call Your Name” today and just saw it one Single and Song in different years at the CMAs. How did that happen?

Great list Leeann. I’m sure it was a struggle to narrow down the list of your favorite artist’s songs and you definitely honored some lesser known ones. I want to mention/remind everyone of a few of my favorites: “Never Alone” and his cover of the Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why”. It gives me chills.

Vince is one of those artists that you easily find yourself not being able to pick “A” favorite song. Great list and I love the others that didn’t make the final cut.

One night on the Opry, I heard him sing “Give Me Jesus” and it was really incredible. It was one of those songs you could almost tangibly feel the emotion. I’m so grateful to have caught it.

I think the fact that Vince is such a cool, non-celeb with a great sense of humor that equals his musical talents, makes him all that more likeable, IMHO.
In an industry that is more assembly line than ever (it seems), country music needs Vince Gill.

Go Rest High On That Mountain? Surely my eyes deceive me, and that must be there!

In case anyone is interested, xmradio is celebrating Vince’s Grammy for Best Country Album by playing an encore presentation of an addition of Artist Confidential, where Vince offers some live performances of songs from his “These Days” album and commentary about the songs. You can catch it tomorrow (Feb. 18) at noon on highway 16. If you are not an XM radio subscriber, you can sign up for a free online trial that lasts for a couple of days, I believe. If you do that, be sure to go to the settings and switch it to the internet connection speed of your choice; it affects the quality of sound.

I, personally, am very excited because I missed this program on its original airdate and happen to have the day off from work tomorrow.

Peter,

Thanks, but it wasn’t my concept. Leeann came up with the idea, and wrote the first one.

I agree with you, though. I’m chomping at the bit to do one of my own!

Kevin – Fantastic concept for a blog series. Really – it provides some great jumping off points for debates (hopefully reasoned, but passionate nonetheless).

Kevin–
Thanks for the awesome comment! I agree that those songs that I left off are great. I especially wish that there had been room on my list for “Look At Us” and “Worlds Apart.” I guess I should have done a top 50 list or something.:) Funny about the “When Love Finds You” album. I remember absolutely loving it at the time of its release, but the songs on it really haven’t stuck with me as my favorites, though I still enjoy “Whenever You Come Around.”

I’m sure people would really enjoy an Emmy Lou list! I could learn from it myself. You’re really opening me up to some of these female singers that I’ve kind of overlooked in the past.

Paul–
I thought your list was pretty cool; it was even more diverse than mine.:)

There were so many more songs that I wanted to include in this list, but I had to stop somewhere and make some choices.
