Vince Gill has sold more than 26 million albums and earned 18 CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year in 1993 and 1994. He is tied with George Strait for the most CMA Male Vocalist Awards (five), and is currently second only to Brooks and Dunn for the most CMA Awards in history. Gill is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and has received 20 Grammy Awards, the most of any male country artist. He co-hosted the CMA Awards from 1992 until 2003, setting a record for the most times anyone has consecutively hosted a televised award show. In August of 2007, the Country Music Association inducted Gill into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Originally a bluegrass artist, Gill first hit the Top Ten as a member of the Pure Prairie League (“Let Me Love You Tonight”). By 1983, he had moved to Nashville and has released hit singles ever since, including “If It Weren’t For Him” (with Roseanne Cash) and his first Top 5 single, “Cinderella.” “Oklahoma Swing” (with Reba McEntire) earned Gill his first CMA Award (Single of the Year) and his first Grammy Award (Best Male Country Vocal Performance) in 1990. In 1992, “I Still Believe In You” became Gill’s first #1 country single, followed quickly by “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away,” “One More Last Chance,” and “Tryin’ To Get Over You.” Gill also topped the charts with “The Heart Won’t Lie,” his second duet with McEntire. Gill has collaborated with Amy Grant on “House of Love” (an adult contemporary crossover hit), and with Dolly Parton on her signature “I Will Always Love You” from her Something Special album that earned the duo the CMA Vocal Event of the Year Award 1996. That same year, Vince topped the Billboard Country Albums Chart for the first time with High Lonesome Sound.

In 2006, Gill released These Days, a groundbreaking, four-CD set featuring 43 new recordings of diverse musical stylings. Each album in the set explored a different musical mood: traditional country; ballads; contemporary, up-tempo; and acoustic/ bluegrass music and featured a variety of guests. His 2011 album, Guitar Slinger, reinforced the incredible range and talent Gill has and was a commercial and critical success.
