NASHVILLE – June 29, 2016 — Grammy award-winning MCA Nashville country artist Vince Gill is celebrating his 25th year as a member of the Grand Ole Opry with the release of a Limited Edition Vinyl version of his newest album, Down To My Last Bad Habit.
Fans
can pre-order autographed copies of the historic package—which includes
a stylish T-Shirt illustrated with a photo of one of Vince’s favorite
guitars—by going to http://goo.gl/vmqL6N. Orders will arrive on or around July 15. After that date, only the album will be available at retail that carries vinyl.
The
vinyl edition, which contains all the songs found on the original CD,
features a brand new cover designed by Hatch Show Print, the legendary
printer of show business posters that is now a part of the Country Music
Hall of Fame.
“No
one appreciates the virtues of digital recording more than I do,” Vince
says. “But there’s something magical about the sound and feel of vinyl
that a whole new generation is discovering. It’s something that’s
yours, something you can share with friends. Listening to those
well-worn vinyl albums in my family’s collection—and reading all that
wonderful ‘insider’ information on the back—inspired me in ways that
nothing else could.”
When it was released in February, Down To My Last Bad Habit
sent reviewers scrambling for superlatives. “Soulful yet
sophisticated, emotionally raw yet gleaming with studio polish,” said USA Today. Rolling Stone praised Vince’s “exquisite guitar work and soulful vulnerability,” while The Boot
enthused, “[This is] quite possibly the most perfect project—from a
vocal and instrumental perspective—that he has recorded in his
career.”
Inducted
into the Grand Ole Opry on August 10, 1991, Vince is also a member of
the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of
Fame, as well as a 20-time Grammy winner.
Gill
continues his 2016 with dates in Torrington, CT (July 15); Cohasset, MA
(July 16); Hyannis, MA (July 17) and throughout the rest of the year.
