If you buy one album this year - this has to be one of them. It is almost like Vince has released a 2nd greatest hits album. When you listen to the diversity of these songs in these albums, many of them could be classics. What other artist has given so much effort. He bleeds music and lyrics and tunes. I was greatly pleased with the difference of all the cd's and though I am not a big fan of the twangy country songs in general, I would say that these were very catchy. Let's put it this way after hearing the ablums in full several times, I remember the song or two that was forgettable. Otherwise, they are almost all fantastic. Whether slow or fast they catapult this album into the album of the year status and should win now!! Can you imagine writing all these songs than collaberating them and figuring out who he wanted to sing with. He still has to do the videos yet!!! The talent is unreal. Do yourself a favor, buy the album. It will be the best investment you make even if you don't like country. it may make a believer out ot you. I can only wonder how he will follow up with this album!?… Expand

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.… Expand

Best music to come out in a long while and I buy 2 or 3 cd's every week.

I bought this 4-cd set with some trepidation, since many artists would have about 1 cd worth of decent songs and 3 cds worth of fillers. But I bought this since I have always enjoyed Vince in the past. Boy, was I surprised and delighted! Each disc is themed. The 1st is called "the rockin' record". It is. The 2nd disc is "the groovy record" which is actually the "beautiful heartfelt love songs" record that we all love Vince for. The 3rd and 4th are the "country and western" and the "acoustic" records. Each cd does have it's own musical flavor. All in all, 43 songs, 4 hours of great music. Gill's music and lyrics are better than ever. Various "guest vocalist"s include his wife and his daughter along with many other famous and talented singers, all put to excellent use. It would do no good to try to feature any song or songs, since this is the strongest album I have listened to in years. This is a must for c&w fans, and a great set to buy for rockers who wonder if there is any such thing as a good country album.… Expand

A true classic. 43 new songs in a variety of musical styles. A must have. Vince has created the best CD of the year in any genre.

Thanks Vince. This set will keep me happy for a long time. Flat out best of his career. Go out and get this set - if you can find it. It is sold out and hard to find!

Best of any style music this year. Four Cds full of excellent music.

So much music. So many styles. Not a bad song on the entire set....kudos to Vince.

Vince has a lot to say. Too bad his skills are so soft.

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.

Far any away the best true country put out in the laast ten years. And it took what country considers an elder states man to bring it forward. No body can write like him, play like him, or sing like him. He ranks right up there with another forgotten legend Cash. He wont go along quietly and thank God for it!

The best record i've heard in twenty years.

The best set of music in any genre this year! Way to go Vince.

43 new and wonderful songs from Vince. It shows his talent as a singer, songwriter and musician! Best of the decade!

I didn't know what to expect, but am so glad I purchaed this set. Incredible talent. Not a bad song in the bunch. The man has amazed me!

My favorite is the country & western CD but all 4 cd's are exceptional (rockin, acoustic, and groovy)! I just saw Vince in Portland and he played 20 of his new songs live. It was a 3 and a half hour tour de force!

I like the acoustic CD best but all 4 CD's are really good! Always in my CD player.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful set - a joy to listen to. I love the songs. Vince Gill is very talented and such a good songwriter.

A true masterpiece! A 43 song outpouring of American music in a variety of styles.

Would give it a higher score if I could. Flat out best music of the year and of Vince's career. Many kudos!

Vince Gill is an amazing artist - magnificent tenor voice, songwriter, and musician. Anyone that as seen him perform live will go away thrilled.I

One of the best Cds I've heard! Great Stuff from Vince!

Pure Magic! Sure to win a ton of grammies.

The best voice around along with great guests....a joy!
