Vince Gill Sings for the Rainforest
With All-Star Cast at Carnegie Hall
NASHVILLE – April 5, 2012 — Vince Gill raised country music’s banner high at the Revlon Concert for the Rainforest Tuesday, April 3, at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium in New York.
In a program titled “Songs of the Silver Screen,” Gill performed his own distinctive renditions of Don Gibson’s “I Can’t Stop Loving You” and Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman” and joined actress/singer Rita Wilson for a duet journey through the Everly Brothers’ “All I Have to Do Is Dream.” (Gill also sings on “Faithless Love” a track on Wilson’s album, AM/FM, due out May 8.)

In addition to Gill and Wilson, the high-voltage concert featured performances by Sting, Elton John, James Taylor, Meryl Streep, Rosanne Cash, Bruno Mars, Jennifer Hudson, Esperanza Spalding and Bryn Terfel. Former president Bill Clinton appeared as a special guest.
The entire cast encored with the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” That lyrical admonition did not apply to sold-out crowd, of course, which got exactly what it wanted.
Gill is currently touring in support of his album Guitar Slinger.
