The perception of Vince Gill as anything but a rocker is not true, judging by the versatility he’s shown during his last 10 years with the Eagles.

“Whatever you’re walking into, you try to be authentic,” he says. “You’re trying to fill up space with the right sound, just like a painter with the right colors. I’m doing the same thing with guitars.”
