Vince sings like an angel. He used to be in a group called Pure Prairie League (hit song Amy in the 70s, just for reference). He's also an excellent player, but, I get the impression, he's never sung a flat note in his life. Everything I ever heard from the 70s, to present, is impeccable.
Vince Gill has a beautiful voice ❤ so does Allison . Ricky is a country blue grass icon. I’d recommend listening to anything from either of these three!
This is one of the best songs that I have ever heard if you've never heard it you matter to get some handkerchiefs cuz it is a tearjerker my daughter passed away when she was 17 they sang this song I heard everytime I hear this song I cry it's such a beautiful song but it goes to my heart Vince Gill is one of my favorite country all his music is great but he had a brother to pass away and he wrote this song and it is absolutely beautiful
Since this song was released, it's been played at thousands of funerals. Vince has personally sang it at the funerals of multiple celebrities. When his mentor, George Jones passed away, he tried extremely hard to perform it. He broke down in the middle, but Patti Loveless was preforming with him, and kept it moving along, until Vince got himself gathered back up, a little. If touching, emotional moments are a thing that makes you proud of humanity, it's a good video to watch.
I hear Vince sing this song always bring tears to my eyes. Also comfort. My oldest son Joshua Rico passed away in 2018. 3 songs always brings me closer to him every time I hear it....this is one song Love you and miss you Son. See you on the other side
3 very talented people when this song came out it was played at every funeral you went to in the south Vince is one of those great guitar player in country music you hear about God bless
Beautiful song, beautifully done. Vince wrote this song for a reason, and there are more heart rending renditions of it by Vince Gill available on TH-cam. I've heard it played at many funerals. It is so fitting, and brings a tear to my eye nearly every time, and I am NOT a cryer.
This song hits hard with me, my brothers and I lost our father in 2004 at the young age of 53 to brain cancer. So, this song always gets me. Great reaction guys! Thanks!
Was written about, for, Keith Whitley who you should check out his When you say nothing at all which Allison Krauss also did later. Vince Gill revisited song when his half brother died.
There's something wrong with someone who doesn't find this song heartbreaking, not just sad. Just the fact that all these years later, he tears up and his voice breaks...
I find this song both sad and uplifting at the same time. Probably Vince Gill's best song, and that is saying something given the songs he has either written or co-written. Check out the original video/studio version with him, Patty Loveless and Ricky Scaggs. It's even better.
I found it interesting that you each had different opinions about whether the song was sad. To me, that is because it encapsulates the conflicting feelings you can have when someone passes away who had a hard or painful life. You miss them, and are sad they are gone, but at the same time you are relieved that they are at peace and out of pain. My mother passed a few years ago. She struggled with severe mental illness her whole life. This song really captures my ambivalent feelings about it. It's
The song was originally written by Vince Gill to help him cope with his brother's suicide but if you want to see the best most heart breaking version look here on TH-cam for Vince Gill and Patty Loveless playing it for George Jones the one and the only's funeral
That is one of the few times I have seen Vince sing this song without breaking down. Vince started this song years ago when his friend and country/bluegrass star Keith Whitley died. Vince couldn't finish it then. Then when his brother passed he did finish it. There is a video of Vince and the great singer Patty Loveless doing this song at a memorial for George Jones after he passed and Vince couldn't keep it together. Patty got him through it. I am leaving you links to 2 vids of Patty and her great band doing a couple songs from a concert of theirs. A bit about Vince. He for a couple years was the frontman and guitar player for a band called Pure Prairie league. They had a number of hits including Aimee. Also when the Eagles got together to do a short tour a couple years back they asked Vince to join them both for his vocals and his guitar playing. Great choice and great reaction y'all. Justin you are a lucky guy. You're wife is beautiful, and insightful. Here are those links. One is a sort of sad story song and the other is a lighthearted upbeat tune. Hope you enjoy. th-cam.com/video/1n57WBtvtC4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Nj67hHp5GQ0/w-d-xo.html PS If you guys saw the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou with George Clooney, you heard Alison Krauss. She along with Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch sang "Go to sleep little baby" as the sirens at the river.
Actually this song was written for his brother after he passed away. In the movie O brother where art thou, the voice of George Clooney is Dan Tyminski, a member of Alison's band Union Station.
@@brianbrekke9500 In fact I have heard Vince tell the story about starting it for Keith and being unable to cope with the emotions and finish it. Then when his brother passed he summoned the will to complete it. Also here is the Wiki blurb on the song. - "Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill. It was released in August 1995 as the sixth single from his album When Love Finds You. It is a eulogic ballad. Gill began writing the song following the death of country music singer Keith Whitley in 1989. Gill did not finish the song until a few years later following the death of his older brother Bob of a heart attack in 1993. - Important thing is it's a great song and tribute. HAGD!
Vince Gill is the writer and composer of this song, and sang it at George Jones' funeral - whose body was in the closed casket down front. (George Jones helped Vince get his career started, and nicknamed Vince “Sweet Pea” ). George had struggled with alcohol and drugs for several years before he became a Christian and sobered up, and Vince had a half-brother who had struggled with alcohol and drugs and died in 1993 in his 50s of a massive heart attack. In fact, because George's wife was a Christian and helped him and loved him all through the struggles, George - in a prayer one night - told God that if God would help him he would give up the vices - and he did. According to George's wife, when George died, he had been in the hospital for five days, of which George had been in a comma the last three. George had just laid with his eyes closed and never said a word. Then, as George's wife and his doctor stood at the foot of the hospital bed, George opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling and said, "I've been looking for you. I'm George Jones", and then died. George's wife says she knows George was talking to God. Vince had written this song for his brother after his brother's death, and that's why it is so special to Vince. Patty Loveless was a good friend to both, and was there to help Vince get through the song. The song is about The mountain ( Heaven ) that his brother had to climb.
I love these guys. "it has country vibes". I hope so. Its a country song sang by 3 big name country artists. Its also considered a gospel song. I love your content guys. Keep doing videos like this. Have a wonderful day.
started writing it for Keith Whitley. you werent afraid to face the devil and you were no stranger to the rain are direct lines from Whitley songs. he couldnt finish it. when his brother died he finished it.
As good as this version is, I prefer the original with Patty Loveless singing instead of Alison Krauss. And Vince & Patty at George Jones memorial wrecks me every time.
That was 3 top level musicians and singers on that stage. Stating the obvious I know. And for some reason I get the impression that they are all 3 also decent people.
All 3 are monster talents. Vince Gill, also a great guitarist was recently asked to tour with the Eagles. Allison Krause, has a beautiful voice and "fiddle" style. You'd like her most famous work, as part of, Allison Krause & Union Station. They're essentially an unintentional all star band. Kinda like Rush for Blue Grass. Their musicianship and harmonies are pretty great. Try just l any song off their live Album, Allison Krause and Union Station + LIVE. (In Louisville KY.) New Favorite, Choctaw Hayride, The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn,
If you had listened to the studio version, for sure you would have felt the impact of the song. And Mr. Skaggs and Patty Loveless sing in that version. With Vince. Thanks for sharing 👍
Carnegie Hall is one of the finest performance halls in the world, known for its acoustics and beauty. Only the finest of the best are invited to "Play Carnegie Hall". If you play (perform) in it you should be honored. It is located in Mid-Town Manhattan, New York City.
Vince wrote this about his brother is spirit - Country Vocal-Songwriter legend Keith Whitley and his bio-brother. Keith left us too soon due to alcoholism. Check out his haunting song: No Stranger to the rain. His voice will blow y’all away.
A lot of people mentioned how he sang this at George Jones' memorial. But that makes me think about how Charlie Daniel's was also there at that memorial. Charlie witnessed him perform it, and Charlie himself gave and awesome eulogy and performed. Then roughly over a year ago, I happen to stumble upon the livestream to Charlie Daniel's memorial, and I watched Vince perform this song by himself with the guitar. He didn't break down that time. But it makes me think about how Charlie Daniels, in some sort of indirect way, got to see a performance at his own funeral.. Kinda strange to think about.
Alison Krauss is one of my all time favorite females singers, but as someone else has already said in the comments, I really prefer the version with Patty Loveless. She just has the right sound/harmonies for this song. Also, "Never Leave Harlan Alive" by Patty Loveless, is amazingly great.
@@denroy3 Well since I was not talking about the live version at George Jones funeral, but the version from the album which has Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs on it, your comment to me, is moot. And actually, I believe plenty people would probably disagree with you but I can see your point. Oh and by the way, assuming is stupid.
As a fan of both Bluegrass and Alison Krauss, I do have to admit to liking those 2 albums that Alison and Robert did together. The first album about 14 years ago won them both a few Grammy awards. These are 3 superstars in the Country/Bluegrass world, and the two that are singing harmony are not trying to upstage the lead singer. It is sad in the fact that somebody died after a very hard life. His brother did struggle with drugs in his life.
Ricky Skaggs is a great picker.. He apparently was like a child prodigy, and got to perform live with the legends, Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe, when he was 7 years old. There's a video of it. Then there's a video from nearly a decade ago of Ricky Skaggs performing with a little 10 year old boy named, Carson Peters, at the Grand Ole Opry. A talented little boy who had been playing the violin for 6 years. The boy was a fan of the late Bill Monroe, and they performed Bill Monroe's song called "Blue Moon of Kentucky". It was like a weird but cool moment, for me as a viewer, to witness how things came full circle with that situation after all those years. If you want to see some crazy guitar picking by Ricky Skaggs on an acoustic, "Country Boy" is a song to check out.. Other instruments get in on the solos as well.
The death of a loved one is sad because we will miss them, terribly. But, ultimately, if you are Christian, it will be joyful. If you are concerned about the condition of their soul, pray for them.
I can't listen to this song anymore. I played this song for my dad when he died last year at 93 years old. My mom, my family, and I cried our eyes out. I'm giving you a like, but I can't watch it. God bless you both!
Country music and bluegrass are steeped in the southern Christian tradition, with gospel and other art forms threaded throughout. At least country music up until about 2012, before that time songs about faith, and the human condition were very common. Vince wrote this song. Like he said in honor of the passing of his brother, but also as a solemn nod to the late great Keith Whitley who passed away shortly after, that's where the line "you were no stranger to the rain." Comes in. I certainly hope that your understanding of the song resonates, I see it is both a sad song, but a song of hope and understanding that for those of us who call ourselves Christians, we know that our bodies may die, but our spirit will go to be with the Lord. Certainly can understand people's comments on here about being ambivalent a little bit, the for that is the nature of being human and being unsure. But understand that with the context that this song was written, he is looking forward to celebrating with his brother, with Keith and so many others that have gone on. Certainly look forward to more of your videos as you have gained a subscriber today.
Now listen how this Gill does this song he doesn't perfectly he doesn't try to blow it out the park like Carrie Underwood tries to do I feel it when Vince Gill singing it I feel it through my heart with Alison krauss backup and Ricky skaggs you couldn't get the best two people to back you up cuz Alison krauss's a great backup singer. But the original is Patty loveless but you still couldn't get a better backup singer than Alison what I'm trying to say here is when Carrie Underwood perform the song I just listened to it I didn't even recognize the song. Until she got to the course. And then she's trying to blow out the lyrics, go listen to Vince Gill's version after listening to Carrie Underwood you'll see what I'm talking
Yeah, you two should have watched the video with Patty Loveless singing instead of Alison Krauss. And Vince & Patty at George Jones memorial. You may have had to break out the keenex
Please don't listen to those that want you to react to the George Jones funeral version, Vince mostly just cries and the song suffers. Unless you enjoy reacting to people crying at funerals.

You're welcome, don't know if you noticed the line he's no stranger to the rain, I'm no Stranger to the Rain is a Keith Whitley song.
What few people knows, Vince Gill is one of the best guitar players on this planet. Stunning guitarist
So stunning. That Dire Straits asked him to join their band, the Eagles too.
Vince sings like an angel. He used to be in a group called Pure Prairie League (hit song Amy in the 70s, just for reference). He's also an excellent player, but, I get the impression, he's never sung a flat note in his life. Everything I ever heard from the 70s, to present, is impeccable.
Yes and Vince now sings with the Eagles as part of their band.
Vince Gill has a beautiful voice ❤ so does Allison . Ricky is a country blue grass icon. I’d recommend listening to anything from either of these three!
Literally so beautiful 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Vince is the same simple guy you see in the video.
Not one shred of arrogance or ego.
He is a stellar singer and guitarist .
Played this at my Daddy's Funeral 🕊️💕 RIP daddy🥰

What can you say, powerful.
This was performed at the Grand Ole Opray
The mike stands say Grand Ole Opry, with the WSM mark on the front. I don't know where they got Carnegie Hall.
the best ballad from real life
Beautiful song, beautifully done. Vince wrote this song for a reason, and there are more heart rending renditions of it by Vince Gill available on TH-cam. I've heard it played at many funerals. It is so fitting, and brings a tear to my eye nearly every time, and I am NOT a cryer.

There is only one song that makes me cry and it is this one. We played it at my dad's funeral.
Back in the 70's Vince Gill was in the band Pure Prairie League.

His brother didn't commit suicide, he died of a heart attack.
Three of the best right here. Great video guys. Thank you for playing it. Subscribing now.
need to watch this song at George Jones funeral. THAT was emotional.

Agreed. As great as Alison Krauss is, no one harmonizes with Vince Gill as well as Patty Loveless.
How Patty fills in when Vince can’t sing at George Jones’ memorial is amazing.
I say this all the time. He and Patty harmonize perfectly together.
Vince has said it as well.
I agree!
The George Jones memorial performance breaks me every time.
Their harmony is amazing.
He is my momma's favorite singer.

They all starred out in bluegrass, when they were young. In their teen yrs.
Of course they’re amazing singers, but Vince is one the top guitarists!!! Check out his wife too ❤

Keith left us too soon due to alcoholism. Check out his haunting song: No Stranger to the rain.

Love Love❤
Alison Krauss is one of my all time favorite females singers, but as someone else has already said in the comments, I really prefer the version with Patty Loveless. She just has the right sound/harmonies for this song. Also, "Never Leave Harlan Alive" by Patty Loveless, is amazingly great.
Terrible version to react to unless you just enjoy watching Vince cry instead of sing.
@@denroy3 Well since I was not talking about the live version at George Jones funeral, but the version from the album which has Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs on it, your comment to me, is moot.

This song was played at my mother in law’s funeral.
Allison Krauss could sing the Cheesecake Factory menu and it would sound angelic.
I heared her say that he had a beautiful voice, he does in fact. he also was in the band pure prairie league, check them videos out you'll love them.
It was a special at Carnegie Hall because of flooding in Tennessee
Vince has also played with the Eagles on tour recently. He is an excellent guitar player
Wow it wasn’t sad? Man it hit sad square in the middle.
The original with Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs is my favorite. I love the violin in the original.
Great reaction and great vid. Keep it up!!
As a fan of both Bluegrass and Alison Krauss, I do have to admit to liking those 2 albums that Alison and Robert did together. The first album about 14 years ago won them both a few Grammy awards.

God Himself must have gave him the words to this song..if u dont cry during this song your heart is stone
Vince Gill wrote this song for his brother.
ok stopped at the first commercial because i want to say I'm interested in seeing this very emotional lady watch this.
This song was played at my sons funeral. He was killed in war
I like him, and Patty loveless song that song when she had to step up on stage when he broke down.
Watch the one from George Jones funeral
Not tell you Vince Gill knows how to pick that guitar to
If you want the sad version, listen to him singing it along with Patty Loveless at George Jones' funeral
The death of a loved one is sad because we will miss them, terribly. But, ultimately, if you are Christian, it will be joyful. If you are concerned about the condition of their soul, pray for them.
Also Vince Gill was part of Pure Prairie League, who done Amie.
Wow I'm an old musician and I didn't know that. But I can hear it in my head still and makes perfect sense
Thanks
@@foomanchu7414 you're welcome
He was in a local (Oklahoma City) bluegrass band called Mountain Smoke before moving out to California and joining Pure Prarie League.
Bluegrass of sorts...stringed intranets only. Un believable harmony
This video is decades old. Gill wrote a third verse, just as powerful, within the last few years.
I can't listen to this song anymore. I played this song for my dad when he died last year at 93 years old. My mom, my family, and I cried our eyes out. I'm giving you a like, but I can't watch it. God bless you both!
for my money, Ricky Scaggs is the single most musically talented person on the planet!!!!
Hi Ya'll Love your Honest Reactions could you Please React to Billy Lord "SECTION 318" TY
Country music and bluegrass are steeped in the southern Christian tradition, with gospel and other art forms threaded throughout. At least country music up until about 2012, before that time songs about faith, and the human condition were very common. Vince wrote this song.
Like he said in honor of the passing of his brother, but also as a solemn nod to the late great Keith Whitley who passed away shortly after, that's where the line "you were no stranger to the rain." Comes in. I certainly hope that your understanding of the song resonates, I see it is both a sad song, but a song of hope and understanding that for those of us who call ourselves Christians, we know that our bodies may die, but our spirit will go to be with the Lord.
Certainly can understand people's comments on here about being ambivalent a little bit, the for that is the nature of being human and being unsure. But understand that with the context that this song was written, he is looking forward to celebrating with his brother, with Keith and so many others that have gone on.

Vince wrote this for his brother if I rember correctly
Vince is heading out with The Eagles again this year.
Now listen how this Gill does this song he doesn't perfectly he doesn't try to blow it out the park like Carrie Underwood tries to do I feel it when Vince Gill singing it I feel it through my heart with Alison krauss backup and Ricky skaggs you couldn't get the best two people to back you up cuz Alison krauss's a great backup singer. But the original is Patty loveless but you still couldn't get a better backup singer than Alison what I'm trying to say here is when Carrie Underwood perform the song I just listened to it I didn't even recognize the song. Until she got to the course. And then she's trying to blow out the lyrics, go listen to Vince Gill's version after listening to Carrie Underwood you'll see what I'm talking
Sad? Watch him sing it George Jones' funeral!!!
Fun fact, Vince Gill was almost with Dire Straits…..
Yeah, you two should have watched the video with Patty Loveless singing instead of Alison Krauss. And Vince & Patty at George Jones memorial. You may have had to break out the keenex
I thought it was Patty loveless singing backup
There is on the original version!!
This is a live performance.
Dude... You would know if you been there....
Oh no ! Young lady get yourself some tissues ! Maybe a big box just to be sure .
Please don't listen to those that want you to react to the George Jones funeral version, Vince mostly just cries and the song suffers. Unless you enjoy reacting to people crying at funerals.
and this is LIVE....vince and his friends...what imagine is more than this
"excuse my bad english"...maybe wrong grammar and words
Thay are country, And BLUE GRASS SINGERS . Cowboy hats go hand and hand.
If you don't like country you should skip Vince Gill
