About The EP & Guitar:
I Gave You Everything I Had
Gill describes the songs on I Gave You Everything I Had as, “all very personal.” He continues, “I love the emotion of music; that’s what I go to it for. It stirs something inside me that I can’t describe. I just feel it, and the songs I do and the way I sing them and the way I play them, tries to convey those emotions.”
Produced by Gill, the songs feature a cadre of musicians he’s been working with, including pedal steel virtuoso Paul Franklin, fellow guitarists Tom Bukovac, Jedd Hughes and Jack Schneider, keyboardists John Jarvis and Gordon Mote, drummer/percussionist Fred Eltringham, on bass Jimmie Lee Sloas, with Gill’s wife of 25 years, Amy Grant, and daughters Jenny Gill and Corrina Gill singing background vocals. The songs were recorded at Gill’s The House studio. Nostalgia, sentimentality, and mourning are the hallmarks of I Gave You Everything I Had.

On I Gave You Everything I Had, Vince has chosen to feature his 1942 Martin D-28 Herringbone guitar purchased in 1975 by selling a Martin given to him by his parents, and using his entire life savings, an important investment in himself at the onset of his career.
