It should go without saying that Langley has arguably been the hottest country artist on the planet since the start of the year.

That’s country… and I would never expect anything less from these two. Today, Vince Gill released his EP Down At The Borderline, which is the fourth installment in Vince Gill’s 50 Years From Home EP series. You’ll see a simple white guitar on the album artwork is a 1953 Fender Telecaster that Gill bought for $450 in 1978 from Del City Music in his native Oklahoma, and it’s been Gill’s main guitar ever since. He says it’s been with him through the […]
