Mike H gave it a10:
I am ordinarily not a country music fan, but these CD's reach across musical boundaries. They contain Country and Western (as Vince still calls it), Pop, Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass and Rock. In the final analysis, this was a tremendously ambitious project and I had the joy of seeing him perform many of these songs in concert. I was totally blown away by his performance level, his humor and his story telling abilities are a testiment to the human experiences of life. He is truly one of the greatest artists of our time.

Even the choirs of heavenly angels appreciate Vince Gill's skills and talents. This album is an instant classic, destined to be the year's best. I can't get enough of it and neither will you.
Susan G gave it a10:
This is a wonderful set - a joy to listen to. I love the songs. Vince Gill is very talented and such a good songwriter.
Brian S gave it a10:
This is pure nonsense. Gill's masterwork has a deserving 88% rating and it should be placed in the top albums of 2006. Alan Jackson was allowed entrance so put Vince in there too! He deserves it.
Ken H gave it an8:
I'm not a big country fan; however, I've always thought Gill was an underrated guitarist. Not only does he solidify my respect for his guitar playing on this album but this is, by far, the best "country" album of the year. Personally, I think Metacritic is biased about putting it up on the Top Ten because it's not arty-farty enough.
Kim W gave it a10:
I like the acoustic CD best but all 4 CD's are really good! Always in my CD player.
Betty A gave it a10:
So much music. So many styles. Not a bad song on the entire set....kudos to Vince.
