EP – N° 6


About The EP & Guitar:

END OF THE NIGHT

For End Of The Night, the sixth release in his 50 Years From Home year-long EP series, Vince Gill stays unapologetically in the heartbreak lane, the same lane as the preceding EP, Lonely’s What I Do. He just makes it sound very different this time. 

“It’s sitting on the somber side, isn’t it?” Gill says of the seven-song set—six originals capped by the pleading “Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away,” his No. 1 Billboard chart hit from 1992.

Stylistically, End Of The Night draws from more of the pop and rock side of Gill’s multi-faceted musicianship. The melodies are still strong, and the instrumental surroundings are smooth and polished, yet muscular. “It feels to me like it’s a much more contemporary record,” Gill explains. “It reminds me of being in California when I lived there during the late 70s and early 80s.”

End Of The Night also provides a showcase for Gill’s well-established guitar acumen, a skill that ranges from supple and subtle to biting and has earned him multiple Grammys for Best Country Instrumental Performance, along with numerous honors recognizing his musicianship including induction in the Musicians Hall of Fame. 

Like the other 50 Years From Home EPs, End Of The Night was produced by Gill at his home studio near Nashville, with engineers Justin Niebank and Matt Rausch and a core group of musicians that includes Paul Franklin, guitarists Jedd Hughes and Tom Bukovac, bassist Jimmie Lee Sloas, keyboardists Gordon Mote and John Jarvis, and drummer Fred Eltringham
