Editorial Reviews

Vince Gill's tenor combines the breathy intimacy of a whisper with the full-bodied tone of a belted gospel chorus. This is the best of both worlds, and Gill exploits his voice to make otherwise forgettable material sound like the catchiest of tunes and the most personal of confessions. The most striking song on When Love Finds You is "Go Rest High on That Mountain," which Gill wrote for his older brother Bob, who died of a heart attack after a hard life. Sounding like a processional from a church funeral, the song is simply constructed, but Gill fills it with the most passionate singing of his career, perfectly balancing sorrow and remembered affection. --Geoffrey Himes

Mellow Ballads.......2007-02-09

Vince Gill has a nice voice, perhaps one of the best voices in country music today. Vince's voice is a perfect match to the mellow ballads on this CD. His vocal command of the songs is necessary in some cases to overcome mediocre songwriting. There are enough mellow ballads on this CD to make this CD a necessary addition to the collections of fans of Vince Gill, classic country and tender ballads.

This CD begins with "Whenever You Come Around." The singing is very good and gets even better in the chorus when Trisha Yearwood joins Gill. The music is simple and pretty with a nice bridge. Ignore the cheesy lyrics. This song was released as a single with "South Side of Dixie" and reached #2 on the Billboard country chart and #72 on the Billboard pop chart.

The second song is faster than the first and has better lyrics too. "You Better Think Twice" has a classic country sound and features additional vocals by Jonell Mosser and Billy Thomas. This song was released as a single backed by "Real Lady's Man," reaching #2 on the Billboard country chart.

The song "Real Lady's Man" has a solid classic country sound with the addition of a steel guitar played by John Hughey and a fiddle played by Stuart Duncan. The clincher is the vocal support of Alison Krause. The music is excellent, the singing is wonderful and the lyrics are very nice. This song is one of the better songs on this CD.

The song "What the Cowgirls Do" reached #2 on the country charts, backed by "Go Rest High on the Mountain." The music is reasonably good, and Gill sings the lyrics nicely, but the lyrics are very cheesy. However, this song is a great bar song when you are trying to line dance and your brain is turned off.

I have a soft spot for love ballads, and the #3 charting song "When Love Finds You" is a very nice love ballad. There are nice synthesizer touches in this song along with excellent guitar work. This song is another of the better songs on this album, boasting poetic lyrics. This song was released as a single backed by "If I Had My Way." This song gave Gill the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

"If there's Anything I Can Do" is a song of support that comes from love, but this beautiful song is all about the support and not about winning her heart. This song was the backing song to "Which Bridge to Cross (Which Bridge to Burn)," but I think this song is an incredible song with great music, lyrics and singing and is easily one of the best songs on this CD.

The pace speeds up significantly with "The South Side of Dixie." This song makes me want to tap my feet and jump around on the dance floor. This song is very competent and fun and makes a great party song.

Next up is another phenomenal ballad, "Maybe Tonight," which was the backing song on a single release featuring "Go Rest High on That Mountain" in 1995. This slow, mellow, moody song of longing matches "If There's Anything I Can Do" in terms of quality and style. This song is incredible, even if it is on the verge of being heartbreaking.

The song "Which Bridge to Cross (Which Bridge to Burn)" is another lovely ballad. This one is about trying to decide which love is the One. I love the music, I love the singing, but the topic bothers me. Either he screwed up the first time or he is in the "grass is greener" syndrome. Either way, it seems like one of two women and possibly both are going to get hurt. Songs like this are my least favorite songs because the singer got himself in this messy situation and I really do not want to know about it. It is a beautifully played and sung song, with vocal support from Dawn Sears, Billy Thomas and Jeff White. This song reached #4 on the country chart, backed by "If There's Anything I Can Do."

Gill weighs in on world peace with the ballad "If I Had My Way." This song is mellow and slow, and Gill's voice is wonderful. The lyrics are simple, but match the topic nicely. Amy Grant and Billy Thomas join Gill on the vocals. This song backed "When Love Finds You" in single release.

The final song on this CD is the gospel & blues influenced song "Go Rest High on the Mountain." I get a chill when I listen to this song. Patty Loveless and Ricky Scaggs provide additional vocals and the harmonies are phenomenal. This song was released as a single twice, the first time in May 1994 as the backing song to "What the Cowgirls Do" and the second time in August 1995 as the front song, backed by "Maybe Tonight," reaching #14 on the charts. Though this song did not fare as well commercially as the other songs released from this album, the Recording Academy and the Country Music Association rewarded Gill amply. This song won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song and the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for 1995. The Country Music Association gave Gill the CMA award for Song of the Year in 1996. Both awards are well deserved.

This album was a landmark for Gill. He received numerous nominations in 1994, 1995 and 1996 for songs from this album, winning four awards in addition to being named the CMA Male Vocalist of the Year for 1995 (his fifth win in a row). The album reached #2 on the Billboard Country Music chart and #6 on the Billboard Pop Album chart. This CD does lean heavily to mellow music and ballads. However, most of the music is well done and the album is easy to like. You need this album for your Vince Gill collection.

Enjoy!

Over-rated.......2007-01-09

I personally feel that Vince Gill is over-rated as a country singer. It's knda like rooting for Pac 10 & Big 10 football , it's okay, if you don't know any better.

I bought this CD as a gift for my wife, who does love it !

Falling in love country-style.......2006-11-10

Almost every track is about falling deeply in love. Fabulous for new love, and even better for remembering why you fell in love in the first place!

Go Rest High On That Mountain.......2006-05-08

Vince Gill is one of my favorite country artists, he puts all his heart and soul in this song, dedicated to his brother's memory, we play this song "Go Rest High" Everytime a love one of our's have passed on. Just recently our nephew, who served in Iraq died on April 30th, 2006, in just knowing we could play this at the end of the service was a blessing to us, because we know he is resting high on that mountain. Thank You Vince, for such a wonderful well written song. And a comforting to others.

A voice from heaven.......2005-09-21

I was new to Vince Gill when i bought the european version of this album. The UK version have to bonus tracks Aint Nothing Like the real thing( Duet with Gladys Knight) and the Eagles cover I Cant tell you way. But the rest is the same.
Track 1 Whenever You Come around is if i you hybrid country with sweet lullabye music. Its also a gospel feel over the tunes but Vince Gill has a voice so clean and powerfull that it just hit you in your soul. I like the ballad`s best, but the more tempo tunes Like What the Cowgirls do Track 4, still kicks ass man. Track 7 South side of Dixie is the ultimate track if you want to take a swing. Its produced by Don Was which has created a clean and smooth soundpicture all trough the CD. All in all this is music you want when its cold outside. It makes you warm inside. More words to describe the CD is pointless. When the words stop, the music takes over.. A voice from heaven.
