I really enjoyed it and hung onto every word. I would recommend it to anyone even if your not a country music fan. I also want to add my own opinion about Vince Gill and his music. My husband has been in extreme pain since October 13, 1993 when he received disabling injuries from work. Since that time he has found the only song that helps ease his pain is Pocket Full Of Gold. He will crank it up as loud as it will go, put the head phones on and without medication his pain melts away in about 30 minutes. What other artist can do that, he hasn't found any yet but Vince.

It deepened my appreciation for Vince Gill's musical talents

After seeing Vince in concert and several times at the Grand Old Opry, I was curious as to how the author would capture this man on paper. I was impressed. I learned much of the early days and a glimpse of his personal life. This book deepened my appreciation for Vince Gill, the man, the artist, the musician and the great humanitarian. I highly recommend this for any Vince Gill fan. It was refreshing to see an author intent on portraying her subject with sensitivity and perception. I couldn't put it down!
Vince Gill-Star of All-Time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have been a fan of Mr. Vince Gill for as long as Vince has played. Can I tell you that this book contains all that you would need to know and more about this multi-talented musician. He has heart, style, and a very strong sense of common sense that would please fans of all ages. Get to know Vince Gill the Man through reading this and also listening to his music. His music is time-honoured, and in my humble opinion, will be around for quite some time. And He shows everyone that He also has a very kind heart and is just a regular kind of guy, one who so happens to make a guitar become one with Him.So, sit back, pull up a comfy seat, and read a spell about the Man known as Mr. Vincent Grant Gill.
