  • Vince Gill's THE KEY is essentially a crash course on the history of country music. Inspired by the death of his father to return to the classic country of his youth, Gill has created a primer of traditional country styles. Each song highlights a different style, from Western swing and the Bakersfield sound to waltzes and great male/female duets. But Gill's talents as a guitarist and vocalist keep THE KEY hanging together as a unified whole.
  • Guest vocalists Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack, Sara Evans and Alison Krauss are used to great effect--particularly Womack, on the jukebox weeper "Kindly Keep It Country." A standout is "My Kind of Woman/My Kind of Man," Vince's first full-fledged duet with Patty Loveless. But the album's centerpiece is Gill's autobiographical song about his dad, "The Key to Life." It underscores the fact that, as well as being a fine album, THE KEY is also a heartfelt tribute to the man who first inspired Gill to make music.
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (9/11/98, p.133) - "...This redemptive album returns him to a traditional sound and to the heart of his talent. Guests like Patty Loveless, Alison Krauss, Sara Evans, and Shelby Lynne add more than just window dressing, but the show is still Gill's." - Rating: A
