Vince Gill – Down to My Last Bad Habit (2016) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

GRAMMY Award-winning MCA Nashville country star Vince Gill revealed via NPR his new album Down To My Last Bad Habit is set for release on February 12. Gill wrote/co-wrote, co-produced and is a featured musician on all 12 songs on Down To My Last Bad Habit. The album also includes guest vocals from Little Big Town and Cam.

‘Forty years into this, it’s still as much fun as it s ever been to play music,’ notes Gill. ‘At the end of the day, what I get excited about is doing something I haven’t done before. When I record a song, I feel successful if I’ve accomplished something new.’

Down to My Last Bad Habit marks Gill s first solo album since 2011 s Guitar Slinger. In 2013, The Oklahoma native partnered with famed steel guitarist Paul Franklin on Bakersfield as a tribute to the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. With 20 GRAMMY Awards to his credit, Gill has emerged as country music s most eloquent and impassioned champion. He is both a world-class guitar picker and a wide-ranging songwriter whose compositions earned him entry into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007. Gill has produced albums for LeAnn Rimes, Amy Grant as well as Ashley Monroe and has made guest appearances on over 500+ albums including Barbra Streisand, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, George Jones and more.

Gill returns this holiday season for a set of shows at Nashville s famed Ryman Auditorium with his wife, Christian contemporary artist, Amy Grant. In February, Gill is set to reunite with Lyle Lovett for a 13-city tour of acoustic shows.

„The last two Vince Gill albums celebrated their intentions within their titles: 2011’s Guitar Slinger found plenty of space for his six-string prowess and his 2013 duet LP with Paul Franklin was a valentine to Bakersfield country. Down to My Last Bad Habit, his first solo album in a half-decade, is a slightly more complicated affair. While it can’t be called a concept album, it’s certainly unified by a soulful sensibility, trading heavily on slow, simmering grooves and favoring a feel so warm it feels as comfortable as an old tattered sweater. A lot of skill went into a record that appears so casual, and Gill once again is the chief architect of this record, writing every number and co-producing with Justin Niebank, playing all the guitar and singing most of the harmonies, too. Each of these components is impressive on its own – Gill is a consummate guitarist and his writing is nearly as tasteful and assured – and it’s possible to listen and concentrate only on these elements, marveling at craft that’s polished but never too slick, or perhaps being struck how the guitarist finds space for both jazz trumpeter Chris Botti and Nashville upstart Cam, neither feeling out of place in this setting. Nevertheless, the primary attraction of Down to My Last Bad Habit is its vibe, how Gill maintains an elegant, soulful air throughout the record even when he’s singing about Jimmy Dickens or sneaking in a little bit of fingerpicking. The only time he breaks the spell is for the closer, ‘Sad One Comin’ On (A Song for George Jones),’ a hardcore honky tonky weeper that suits the spirit of the Possum and also serves as a reminder of Gill’s deep country roots, but the appeal of Down to My Last Bad Habit feels more Memphis than Nashville: it’s Vince Gill’s soul album, which is a welcome thing indeed.“ (AMG)
