It's almost unfair to call 'Bakersfield' a Vince Gill and Paul Franklin album, because there are so many other skilled musicians who add an important solo, fill or backbeat to the 10-song project. Often when so much talent fills a room, egos bump like elephants at feeding time. But there's space for everyone on this project.

"Bakersfield," the new album by Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill and ace steel guitarist, Paul Franklin, is available in stores and on digital download sites today! This collection features 5 classic Buck Owens and 5 classic Merle Haggard songs, given a loving and respectful treatment by Gill and Franklin. To celebrate the release, an interactive website lets you be an honora

July 30th is the date set for the release of the new album from Vince Gill with ace studio steel guitarist Paul Franklin. The album is titled, "Bakersfield," and as the title implies, the songs Vince and Paul have covered for this set were chosen from the two biggest artists associated with the "Bakersfield Sound," Merle Haggard and the late Buck Owens.

1970: Ray Stevens' "Everything Is Beautiful" single was certified Gold. 1971: Jerry Reed's "When You're Hot, You're Hot" peaked at number nine on the pop singles chart. 1971: John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" broke into the Top 40. 1976: The Oak Ridge Boys first appeared on the country charts.

The musician, whose heyday was in the '80s, has recruited both Vince Gill and Nathan Chapman, a producer who has worked with Taylor Swift, for separate tracks. Read Mo

Thanks to the handiwork of Keith Urban, Vince Gill and a group of country music stars, the Country Music Hall of Fame has a nice-sized donation check coming its way. This year's All For the Hall benefit concert raised close to $650,000 for the museum of country music memories.

1975: Dolly Parton racked up her fifth number one hit with "The Bargain Store."  The song's success was considered a surprise because some radio stations refused to play it.  They felt the lyrics -- "the bargain store is open, come inside"—were a little too “suggestive!" 1980: Tom T. Hall rejoined the Grand Ole Opry. 1993: Willie Nelson performed a benefit concert in Hills

The Johnny Cash 2013 Music Festival lineup has just been announced, with classic country acts, such as Vince Gill, along with Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers set to perform at the third annual event.

Nashville veteran Vince Gill seems to be everywhere these days. In fact, 2013 could very well be known as the Year of Gill.

Criticism is often a precursor to superstar fame, a reality that Vince Gill probably understands all too well. The 'Threaten Me With Heaven' singer says he thinks Taylor Swift has endured unfair criticism and has gone on the record to defend his fellow country music superstar.

Keith Urban will momentarily step away from his 'American Idol' duties to host his fourth-annual We're All for the Hall benefit concert, scheduled for April 16 at Nashville's Bridgetone Arena.

Lights, camera, action! Kip Moore and Vince Gill are getting ready to jump offstage and on-camera for an appearance on the hit show 'Nashville.' The pair -- along with Pam Tillis -- won't have to reach too far out of character, as they'll be playing themselves...
