It’s hard to believe, but it’s true, Vince Gill has been in the country music industry for 50 years. To celebrate this milestone, the country music legend has announced quite a treat for his fans. As part of a series titled “50 Years From Home”,\u00a0 Gill will be releasing 12 EPs in 12 months (EP stands for Extended Play and essentially means the\u00a0recording is\u00a0longer than a single but shorter than a full album). He has already released two of them, the first titled “I Gave You Everything I Had,” which dropped on October 17. The second came out on November 14, titled “Secondhand Smoke”. So far, the collection has contained all new music with a scattering of re-releases or re-records of previously released songs.\u00a0 For example, the first EP release includes an extended version of his tearjerker, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”. Additionally, he’s releasing a specially recorded podcast with each release. Gill said he had a treasure trove of songs he never recorded, and felt this was a great way to honor his career and the music, all at the same time.\u00a0In a recent interview with Charlie Worsham, Gill took the time to discuss the new 12 series EP and go into detail about the new music:<\/p>\n
