Vince Gill, not surprisingly, owns a lot of guitars — electrics and acoustics. They include the Martin D-28 Herringbone with which he launched his career and a 1959 Les Paul “Burst” with a tragic back story.
But the most famous axe and the one he’s most identified with is a 1953 white Fender Telecaster that graces the cover of his new EP, Down at the Borderline, which comes out February 13.
Vince Gill Talks ’50 Years From Home,’ Friends & Collaborations
Vince Gill discusses his year-long EP series '50 Years From Home,' including his most recent, Brown's Diner Bar.
Some of the best country songs start by etching a sense of place — and for the title track of Vince Gill’s recent EP Brown’s Diner Bar, released last month on MCA, that place is a vaunted Nashville establishment that first opened in 1927 in a converted trolley car, and is home to Nashville’s oldest beer license. Over the years, the unassuming place has drawn a steady stream of musicians, such as songwriting legend John Prine and country singer Hal Ketchum. Gill honors both late music artists in the song, weaving in a tale he heard of Ketchum dancing with one of the bar’s longtime servers.

Vince Gill Releases Second EP ‘Secondhand Smoke’ From ’50 Years From Home’ Series
Vince Gill has released ‘Secondhand Smoke’, the second EP in his year-long series ’50 Years From Home’, commemorating his departure from his native Oklahoma for a legendary music career. The six-track project features never-released songs alongside the Gill classic “Tryin’ To Get Over You,” tackling big issues with humanistic grace while remaining deeply personal. “I’m drawn to melancholy,” Gill explains. “I’m drawn to sad songs probably way more than the zippity do-dahs, as Townes Van Zandt would say. He said, ‘There’s only two kinds of music, the blues and the zippity do-dah. I don’t do zippity do-dah.’ I think I fall into that category, too.” The EP opens with soulful civil rights anthem “March On March On” featuring The War & Treaty, declaring that the world needs healing without playing sides but searching for greater truth. “I think with songs you can tackle any subject,” Gill says. “Even though some might be divisive, if you tell your story with a little bit of grace—not finger-wagging or finger-pointing, telling everybody else how they should feel, but in such a way that the song has a grace about it—then you can sing and write about any subject.”
