Vince Gill is on another level as a guitarist and vocalist, as well as a songwriter. These four albums are some of Vince Gill’s very best, and we think they show off his prowess as a guitar legend quite beautifully. Let’s dive in, shall we?

1. ‘These Days’
These Days could easily be considered one of the best albums of the 21st century, or at the very least the early 2000s. Released in 2006, this stunning record features the full breadth of Gill’s talents as a musician and songwriter, with traditional country tracks to songs with elements of jazz, bluegrass, and even rock.
It makes sense why this record was nominated for two Grammy Awards, and why it’s considered one of the greatest country albums of the decade.
2. ‘When I Call Your Name’
Vince Gill’s albums are always a treat to enjoy, but nothing matches his late-1980s and early 1990s eras. When I Call Your Name came out in 1989 and was a more country-pop-leaning record for the guitarist and singer, and it works brilliantly for his particular talents.
This album is loaded with sonically gorgeous hits, from “Never Alone” to “Never Knew Lonely” to “Oklahoma Swing”.
3. ‘When Love Finds You’
An excellent record from one of Vince Gill’s very best eras, When Love Finds You was released in 1994. This country album boasts some of Gill’s best vocal and very best guitar performances. You can’t beat the hits on this record, from “Whenever You Come Around” (famously written about his wife, Amy Grant) to “Go Rest High On That Mountain”.
If you’re a diehard Gill fan, you’ve probably memorized the entirety of this album. Gill’s electric guitar solos on “Whenever You Come Around”, “You Better Think Twice”, and “What The Cowgirls Do” are insanely impressive.
4. ‘The Key’
The Key is one of the best Vince Gill albums out there. And it also happens to be Gill’s very first no. 1 country music album. You might recall this album featuring a stunning duet with Patty Loveless, titled “My Kind Of Woman/My Kind Of Man”.
Released in 1998, The Key features stunning string work from Gill in the form of the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and mandolin.
