EP – N° 10
About The EP & Guitar:
Stillwater Night
It is the songs that are the solid foundation for 50 Years From Home – Gill’s monumental endeavor to release monthly EPs featuring six to seven previously unreleased tracks. The series’ 10th volume, Stillwater Night, is out now.
Celebrating the gold anniversary of leaving his native Oklahoma to start his music career, Gill created 50 Years From Home to release an abundance of material he had amassed during a prolific period spanning the last four-plus years. There are, without exaggerating, scores of tunes from that time, many in collaboration with others, and since October 2025 Gill has been releasing a half-dozen at a time, arranging them based on theme. “It’s just about what feels right and sounds like they belong together.”
“As I move through the process of recording this EP series, I think more than anything I’m most grateful the songs all held up,” Gill says. “As we’ve recorded, each musician at some point came by and said, ‘Hey, man, I can’t believe how the songs are all poignant and important. There’s not a real drag of a song in all of this material.’
“That makes me feel good, y’know? It probably goes back to how long I’ve been doing this. You don’t waste time finishing something you don’t think is very good, and I understand that more quickly and better the more I do it. That the songs are holding up through all this is really special to me.”
Tracklist:
- “What Love Can Bring” (Vince Gill, Amy Grant)

The cover for each volume of 50 Years From Home celebrates a special guitar from Gill’s enormous collection of instruments. For Stillwater Night it’s a vintage Martin OM45, a limited-edition premium – and rare, with less than four dozen made — model that Gill’s wife Amy Grant gave him for his 50th birthday. “This being 50 Years From Home, it just seemed serendipitous, so it had to be one of these covers,” Gill notes.
