Customer Reviews

Excellent, insightful, enjoyable!!!

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.

Vince's Story by Jo

Loved the book. Always enjoy reading about Vince and his career. He's come a long way and still have many more years left to soothe us with his beautiful voice and words. Love, Debbie Vince and Amy's Sister In Christ

One of the kings of country

I have liked Vince Gill for a long time. But after reading this book, he whent from something more then just a cute guitar player. He became real. This book shows him as a person who whent from bottom to top and worked hard for it. It also shows his love for jenny. He is not just a star who forgets about everything but music and It shows.This book is a must read, For Vinny fans or just music fans.

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

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.
